Hello again. Back so soon, you say? Well I just wanted to go over a few things before I take a holiday break from blogging to enjoy Jesus and Santa Claus (and Jesus is definately more important than Santa Claus)...but who doesn't love to give and receive gifts? First I will start with our Christmas card... drum roll please... (like you really care)
For some reason when the picture got scanned in, it chopped Joey's head off...I assure you that its not really like that in the actual card (again, like you really care). Isn't that sweet Josie cute?? I just loooove him!
Next, I went to Pinelake's Christmas program Best Gift. Man was it amazing!!!! I mean, I am catholic, and I grew up doing the whole catholic thing...but this program made me want to stand up and sing during the program. (and that is a very uncatholic thing since my church is very non-contemporary....I'm not hating on being a catholic, but it is different from a Baptist church for sure!) Anyways, back to this amazing program. Did I mention it was AMAZING? I really felt the power of the Lord and I'm sure everyone else did too. I also cried like a small child the whole time....I am so emotional. My cousin Jessica sang in the choir and my work BFF and fellow DPT, Alyssa sang a solo! She was amazing and everyone who performed was amazing. It is easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas around this time, and Pinelake definately reminded me that HE is the reason for the season. That sweet little baby boy.
This is my friend Alyssa doing her solo thing....She did so so good!!! Literally brought me to tears with her song "Christmas makes me cry"
Lastly, on Saturday night we went to a tacky Christmas party at our couple BFFs Zach and Tara's house. It was so so fun!! So last year, I invested in a tacky Christmas sweater. It was originally 90 bones, but I got it on major sale. So I decided I would wear it to every party I can for the next 5 years. Anyways, we had dance party in their garage and our friend Mitch played alittle. (He also played at our wedding, by the way). The boys played several intense games of flippy cup, while the ladies enjoyed the garage dance floor. We also played dirty santa with a gift under $5. We ended up with chocolate covered pretzels (thanks Shandys) that Joey proceded to devour on sunday during our movie day. Here are some pictures of the evening.

Me and that sweet Joey at the garage dance party...notice the intense look on my face!
So I think that is it for now...I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! (if I don't get to post before then)
ps, just wanted to give a shout out to acouple of my blog friends for a sec.
Rachel and her husband are in New York right now on a mission trip. They are feeding the homeless and telling everyone about the Glory of God. I think that is amazing! We are praying for you!
Missy and Thomas are moving back to Jackson! Yeh!!! I have missed my DPT friend.
Alison and Mark have bought a boat. A very big boat. This has been their plan for awhile and I will let her share that part. But we are very excited for them!
