traditions

lots of traditions this week. and man do i love me some traditions.

4th annual "ms. mandy" christmas date with some fab girls from church.

3rd annual "settlers" christmas time feast.

and to add to all of the christmas festivities, heidi and i did a bday party for jesus with jack and avery. it's sure to become an "every year" tradition, because it was awesome.

(dave thinks that it's sacrilegious that we baked and ate "baby Jesus")

we colored and pasted on hearts and then "gave" them to Jesus under the tree :)

Oh, I love the pictures. I just can't believe how blessed I am to have you, Mandy. We have the same love for tradition and the same vision for our children's hearts at this time of year. You are a treasure, friend. Hugs.
