On Friday, January 22, marked the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The Georgia Right to Life hosted their annual silent march on the steps of the state capital. Aaron and I are very passionate about life, and have made this rally part of our yearly family plans. Aaron's dad and sister, Cara, went with us this year. They started the rally with worship on the capital steps and then we heard from the speakers. We then watched what the reality of abortion has looked like over the past 37 years. In 1986 we lost 7 people in the Challenger explosion, but in that same year we lost 1,328,112 babies to abortion. In 1995 we lost 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing, and in that same year we lost 1,210,883 babies to abortion. In the September 11 attacks we lost 2,973 precious lives, and in that same year 1,291,000 babies lost their lives. It is so sad to me that since the passing of Roe v. Wade there have been 50+ MILLION babies lost to abortion. To remember each of these babies they played Taps on the bugle and we marched through the streets of Atlanta. We marched in silence for those that don't have a voice. We marched because life is precious.
"...I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-16

Sweaters, Turtlenecks, and Stirrup Pants - OH MY!
We hosted a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party this year, and I must say it was one of the best ideas we've ever had. We had way too much fun dressing up in the tackiest Christmas outfits you could imagine. We ate good food, played some games, and had a good time in fellowship with everyone. I believe not many of us will be forgetting the charades any time soon! Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate the season in a tacky way, and if you couldn't make it this year then get ready for next year!
Merry Christmas!
We had a wonderful Christmas this year, and hope you and your family did as well. We have actually the season even more this year because of Levi's excitement for all the small things - the lights on houses, the trees, the decorations, and all the fun. He really opened our eyes and helped us enjoy every minute of Christmas. We celebrated Christmas Eve with the extended family on my mom's side. We had some delicious food and Levi got more than his share of presents (thanks you everyone who was so generous to him).
Christmas morning was spent at home. We continued our tradition of eating Christmas breakfast together, singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus (candles and all), reading the Christmas story (Levi pretended to read along), and then opening presents. It was so nice. We then spent the afternoon with my dad, mom, and sisters playing cards and sharing Christmas dinner which was wonderful thanks to mom. We exchanged gifts and I believe everyone had a grand time playing with Levi's new Hot Wheels tracks. It was definitely the highlight of the evening. We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas as much as we did, and here's to a Happy New Year.
