Christmas Memories....

I have been a little sad lately that my girls are growing up so fast but looking at all these old pictures of the holidays in the past made feel so blessed to have the memories with them up til now. They have been so much fun in each sweet little stage of their lives and looking at the snapshots of different years during Christmas just gets me so excited to live these moments again with Gracie and her sibling. The holidays can be so stressful but enjoy each precious moment, it goes by so quickly!!!


Our 1st Christmas as new parents in 1993.

Kyla enjoying her 2nd Christmas in 1996

This one of my most favorite years at Christmas. Both girls really were understanding how fun and magical everything was! 1997

This is probably my most favorite Christmas memory so far. We got all dressed up to spread Christmas cheer at a nursing home, along with others from our church. Santa and his girls gave out teddy bears and big hugs to the residents and we wished them all a Merry Christmas! 1999

Celebrating an "Old World Christmas" in Leavenworth in 2003

The excitment of see New York City at Christmas time in 2004

The girls almost teens now but the holidays are still as magical as ever. Christmas 2005

Hey Elise~
I wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas! Our power was restored late Thursday afternoon - just in time for the holidays. Hard to believe we survived 'the dark' for a whole week. Many blessings to you all and I look forward to more coffee in the New Year!

What great pictures. Each year at Christmas we look at last years pictures and frame our favrite one to display for the holidays. Fun part is that I take out all the pics from the years past that we have frames as well. So I get to relive all the memories each time I see the pics. I love it.
