Christmas memories

 

Emmy somehow managed to look both tough and beautiful in her hockey photos this year.

We celebrated a bit early with the Moldenhauer bunch.

We made gingerbread houses together and also did a few other cooking projects.

This year we did not go to Florida so instead I bought more gifts. We had the best time unwrapping over the course of 2-3 days. The kids got me some very thoughtful gifts. Bobby got me a beautiful necklace with a cross. Emmy got me a shirt that said Trust God Psalms 37:5 and a bracelet she picked out charms (charms were religious related). The kids got Uggs, blankets, perfume, slippers, new joggers and sweatshirts, and lots more. Robb got some great gifts and he gave me some really great gifts too (see mug).

Bobby and I put together lots of puzzles. This has become something we do together over Christmas break. Emmy is more into Biscuit cuddles than puzzles.

We celebrated the birth of Jesus! Bobby got a new Bible for Christmas and we are now doing guided devotionals together before bedtime. We read the verse, reflect and share, then we direct our prayer with the verse we read together. This is really a special time and I'm so grateful that he wants to do this with me.
