It's a new Year, tomorrow...

It's a new year....well almost.


My new year's resolution is to keep my blog updated. But first, here's a look at some highlights of Christmas 2015.

This is our Christmas Card. The family usually fusses about the photo shoot involved with getting the best Christmas Card photo. This year was no different, although, I think it was the male members of the family doing the most rebelling. We are all smiling because all the people passing along  the road, were waving, blowing their car horns, and yelling  happy words to us as we posed for the photos....so at  least we were smiling...

 At my neighborhood grocery store, I found these gift bags...so I bought two. I couldn't leave the bags personalized with our name behind. 

 Jolie enjoyed visiting the Lenox Santa.

 At Zach's church, the kiddos loved getting their photos made in these elf photo things. Well, at least they pretended to like getting their photos made for mom.

 I thought the girls' had the perfect expressions in this photo of the Grinch and his dog.

Karlie and the Grinch...we kind of like the Grinch around here.

The day Jolie chose this outfit to go Christmas shopping with us. She looked like ELF.

 The last day at the hybrid school before Christmas break....

 Zach hangs one of the Jesse tree ornaments on the Jesse Tree.

Baking and decorating cookies with Gam

 Shek poses by the tree.

 Karlie poses by the tree.

Jolie modeling some of her christmas pjs.

 There was a Santa at Zach's church in a beautiful carriage

 Me and my sweetie

 The girls decorated cupcakes too...and Jolie planned this photo. She wants to have her own Vlog. She constantly fills up all the memory space on my camera on my phone.

 Our church has the best decorations.

 Then there was the doorholder Christmas party at the Tabernacle.

 My friend Renda and I had fun making goofy faces in the camera booth at the doorholder party.

 This was the wall decoration on Christmas Eve at church. So pretty.

 AdvoCare Christmas party with two of my advo fam, Rhonda and Kathy.

 Honey and me at Zach's church for Christmas Eve night.

 Early on Christmas eve morning, Zach dropped me off at our church so that I could help in the kitchen, he then went to purchase his very first brand new vehicle. 

 Here he is singing at his Church on Christmas Eve night.

 over the holidays we went to the big city and walked around the park and enjoyed the lights. It has been rainy mostly and very warm so it was nice to walk and see the lights without freezing.

 Shek has wanted an eno for two years. He got one this christmas. He hangs it on the swing set and when he is missing and it's not raining, you can find him there.

 On Christmas Day, we snapped a quick photo under the swing set because Shek is in his eno. 

This Christmas we have had lots of flooding, this flooding is about 5 or so miles from us. Please send the sunshine.

 Zach singing in their Christmas concert.

2015 has come to a close...and a new year is here. A friend of mine posted a devotion from Oswald's Chambers and I especially liked this quote: 

 Let the past rest, but let it rest in the sweet embrace of Christ. 

Leave the broken, irreversible past in His hands, and step out into the invincible future with Him.

Happy New Year...2016
