This year Kevin & I had more conversations about what gifts to five the kids then ever. It was intentional and a ton of fun:) Thatcher got a bow and arrow; Brody got a guitar; Ella got a few smaller things & Barrett got dice...yep yep:) They all got 3 gifts, just seemed easier that way. Scaling back is good....the kids never noticed. We read "What God Wants for Christmas" and it ends with a mirror simply stating that God wants US:)
Although they fought over who could hold Mary, or a wise man, the point hopefully remained...God wants US. He wants our lives to bring Him glory....for that I am so thankful to be a small part of it as we raise kids. Champions for Him...that is our goal. Not perfect, not just right, just His....
What a fun am at our house:) Thankful for good memories!!
They like each other some of the time:))
Barrett got a set of dice....oh so cute:)) he loves them!!
LOVE this pic.....he really wanted a guitar. God provided one at a fabulous price:)))
