“Serve the LORD in sincerity and in truth... Choose you this day whom you will serve.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Celebrating the Season

We have been doing a lot of celebrating the last few weeks getting ready for the Christmas season. Here are a few of our Christmas decorations that we are enjoying this season. Last week we went to the Square in Covington with our small group friends. We enjoyed walking around all the stores, watching the carriage rides, and looking at all the lights and the big tree. It was a nice time of fellowship with our friends as well.
On Sunday we went to the Candlelight Service at Rockland. It was very special to be able to take a few moments during this busy time to reflect on the reason we celebrate Christmas. This year Aaron's family is spending Christmas in Texas with his grandparents, so it also gave us time to celebrate with them before they left.
Yesterday I took Levi to a birthday party for Jesus. We heard the Christmas story, decorated hearts to give to Jesus, made a manger scene, played musical chairs, and ate cake all to celebrate the birth of our Savior. It was a wonderful party. A big thanks to Hollie, Ashley, Katie, & Ivey for putting it on for us all.
We hope you all enjoy the magic this season brings and take time to share all the love and laughter with family that you can over the next few days. May the love of our Savior fill your home this Christmas and all through the new year.
Merry Christmas!
