Christmas festivities 2016

Our church has a great "Journey to Bethlehem" that we have been to the last three years. I love always bringing our boys back to the true reason for the season. So thankful for a church that loves our kids and want them to see the gospel through every step of the way in December. It was a great morning!





We also love to look at Christmas lights. That's always been one of my favorite Christmas memories. We go to "Rose of Sharon" Camp in Burliston, TN and we love getting to spend the night together as a family listening to the Christmas music on the way, and then getting here and seeing the Life of Chirst laid out in lights.








This is a newer tradition for us. We have tried it the last two years, but I had tried to make a few of our own ornaments (or purchased a few), but I've never had a full set of ornaments to do the Jesse Tree fully. This year I went to two Jesse Tree ornament swaps and I now have two full sets for our kiddos - I plan to get one more set to have one for each of our boys. It was so great this year to go through and get to read everything leading up to the birth of Christ. We spoke of Adam and Eve, Moses, Abraham, Jonah, Ruth, Esther, etc. It was a great program. I'm thankful we came across this and for the sweet time that we have been able to share as a family.


We have never taken the boys to the Singing Christmas Tree at Bellevue. We have live streamed it, but this year Tucker really wanted to go, so we made a point to do that and it was great. They enjoyed it (well Jace was ready to go home, but Tucker loved it).

Another night of looking at Christmas lights.
