Here it is about and hour before the start of a new year and if I get nothing else done before the end of the year, I have to update my blog so I don't go into the new year already behind! So here we go....
It's a wrap for another Valenta Christmas! We had some hectic moments and had to slow down for a few speed bumps along the way but all is well!
Now that the dust is settling and things are winding down I will admit I haven't managed to keep up with my blog very well and I have missed it! I have kept up with the missionary blog I am keeping for Abigail of her weekly letters. In a perfect world I would be able to keep up with both hers and mine while juggling family, job, home and everything else in between but I make no promises. :) I can *try* although I am well aware what Yoda says about trying.... "Do or do not. There is no try." So yeah....I will try. ;)
While I didn't get as many pictures as I had planned or hoped to, here is a little bit of our Christmas....
This is our favorite Christmas card...
This is Tim's boss, Dr. George Privett, dressed as
Santa for the front of the Christmas cards sent to employees!
It is the most awesome of cards!
Santa came.... :)
We've had this ornament for a lot of years but it was
extra special this year with our Spanish
speaking missionary in Arizona! :)
It was a peaceful Christmas morning before
we went to church. The little nativity was sent
to us by Abigail. I love it very much
Annah opens a present before church
Mackson (9 months old) and his daddy by the tree
Mackson and Auntie Annah
Mackson liked his activity table!
And bows were his favorite too!
A great ending to our Christmas festivities...
Skype session with Hermana Valenta!
(McKenna and Mackson were upstairs napping
and missed being able to see Abigail.)
2016 is rapidly coming to a close (like in about an hour!!) and as it does we are full of anticipation for all the possibilities that await us in the coming year! May it be a prosperous and happy New Year for us all! :)
