Too much....

I LOVE Christmas time. I love everything about it. I love the fact that the whole world (or almost the whole world) takes notice of our God and His son. I love the intentional time with family. I love the bright lights, the Christmas trees, the get-togethers, the food, the shopping, the wrapping, the decorating...... I love it all!

But there can be too much of a good thing. And right now, I feel like we've shopped, and baked, and decorated, and celebrated so much that we are starting to wear out before Christmas day actually gets here. Basically, the Fab Five is pooped!

Don't worry. There is no Bah Humbug here. I just need a little quiet time with God, and maybe a nap, and then I'll be ready to hit the group running again. Christmas really is magical, in so many ways. And I mean, God's kind of magic. (not the Harry Potter kind :)

Here are some of our recent pictures..... with more to come soon!

My three sweeties on our tree swing!

I love living in a house with these people and with yellow walls....it's just fun.

With our penguins out front... Our lives are filled with JOY!
