However, it really turned out more along the lines of Pa cutting down the tree he chose, sans kids. No worries, it is an East Texas tree, the Clampetts still live.

The Clampetts also have handy, young men who can tie 2 trees together to become one. Two is better than one anyway. :)

The 2 trees or the big kids' enthusiasm scared Larson.
He was lucky to go to bed before the Christmas pageant. I had a few thoughts of the Herdmans, but there was no foul language, just lots of giggles. They traded roles over and over. I think the fact that the tv is ON adds flair as well!

Here are some more pics of the kids exchanging roles. I doubt the real Darth Vadar is this handsome.

Like father, like son. I guess we need a Skywalker costume.

The week before the Christmas break was Open House at dance, I adore watching my pretty girls! It is amazing to me that they are 7 and 9! Where does the time go? Don't answer that.

My sweet, sweet babies. I pray you will learn to walk in the way of the Lord, in His laws. Dear Lord, we wait for You; Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. Isa 26:8


As we bend and grow, mold us more like You. Make our hearts teachable so that we may glorify Your name through our small, small world. I thank you for my family. I pray my children will learn to encourage one another in the Word as they walk with Our Faithful Redeemer. It is a blessing to have one another, let us never take a day of it for granted. 2 is better than 1.
