Getting Ready for Christmas!

This third week in Advent is all about having JOYful hearts in anticipation for Christ's birth! We are so excited and JOYful for our coming road trip to Minnesota for Christmas. Please keep us in your prayers as we make our 18 hour trip to Minnesota on Friday [with a pit stop in Ardmore (OK) to spend the night with Drew's parents]. We are excited for snow and cold weather but would really appreciate safe roads!

This is a picture that Laura took of Ada in her birthday present (a dress from Mexico) from Evan and Jennie. There is such JOY in her facial expression that I had to include it in this post!

Much Love to you All in this Advent Season!

It's Advent!!

Drew, Ada, and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Hisey family in Dallas. Evan and JK hosted all of us for Thanxmas 2008!! JK made an absolutely delicious turkey and all the fixings. It was a great weekend. We even helped decorate their Christmas tree so that we could feel in the mood when we opened our presents. I hope to upload some pictures of the weekend so you can see all the fun!

Happy Advent Everyone!! When we got home from Dallas, I was so excited to put together our Advent wreath! On Sunday while Drew was in the back yard finishing the fence, I worked on the wreath. It looks great! After church we lit the first candle and blessed the wreath. I just love this time of year and all the traditions we are starting as a family!!

Love you all!
