Daddy...

Daddy turned 54 on the 29th!

 Daddy~

He is a faithful, loving, husband and father, and selflessly lays down his life to serve us and the brethren every day... Daddy loves the Lord with his whole heart, and is so committed to doing what He says. He takes on the huge responsibility of leading us for the glory of our Savior, and doesn't complain. He continually helps us to seek and do the will of the Lord in this life. Daddy is humble and approachable, has a love for the lost, and is "others focused". We could not be more blessed with the gracious goodness of God in placing us in a family with such a wonderful dad. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!

We love you!

LilyAnn...

 Happy 14th Birthday, LilyAnn!

"Praise ye the LORD, O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever."

Our Christmas Celebration~ 2016

This Christmas was very special; and always humbling, as we remember the incarnation of Jesus. Who came and dwelt among us that He might accomplish the perfect will of His Father in walking among us, and then laying down His life for us- so unworthy + undeserving!

We were so glad Mamaw and Bompa could join us later for breakfast and the rest of the day!

Our family tradition on Christmas Day has always been to come out about 7:00AM, read the Christmas story, and  then open gifts.

Frank's turn first!

I'm just guessing that's a ball=)

Emaline made Anna-Frances a diaper bag along with baby doll dresses!

{LOL!}

Alayna gave me a snap press... no more manually hammering pearl snaps!

Mama's gift from Daddy... beautiful, red wind-chimes!

William worked many hours to refinish this desk for Daddy!

Creative, edible, personalized table decor... Gifted by dear friends! (We each got one=)

Alayna's scrumptious cinnamon rolls! {Another family tradition=)))}

Thankful for all the family times we've been granted!

" In this was manifested the LOVE of God toward us, because that GOD sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him."
1 Jn. 4:9
