Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Sorry I'm so late with this post. Here are just some out of order pics that made up our 2008 Christmas holiday...
We go to my parents Christmas morning for breakfast. This is Dad sporting his new PJ's that look like worn jeans. Cool!
I made some soup-in-a-jar and cookie-in-a-jar gifts this year. I hear they're pretty good.
"Big" Grandmom opening her gift. She's so cute!
Christmas dinner at home... terrible picture, but the only one to remember all that good food!
Me with my uncle, Jimmy.
Cousin Taryn, and Aunt Sue.
Now, back to Christmas morning, Ashley opening gifts. Notice the utter DARKNESS out the windows. I woke up at 4:00 a.m., and couldn't go back to sleep. Ended up setting the gifts, making coffee, lighting candles, music etc.
Shawn opening gifts, Dylan hoping its for the both of them! :0)
Dylan and his Lego's.
OK, back to my parents for breakfast... Dylan loved his FOX racing gloves and shirt.
"Momma" Julie opening gifts.
Shawn's parents came over before the rest of the family. Jack really liked the Ripley's Believe it or Not book.
My favorite cousin, Dani, and her husband Mike.
Ashley and Pop Pop.
Chris and Taryn's, baby Calvin doing the Raven's cheer!!! So adorable!
The day ended with some time with our Best Friends, the Smiths. We exchanged gifts and "tried" to play a game (while sleepwalking)! We love you guys!
Puppies, kids and parents alike, spent some cuddle time and went to bed!
Oh, yeah, this was the puppies first Christmas. This is Cody, with his toys, taking a nap in SHELBY's bed. Too funny!

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
