So sure the details are the small things, but I do get excited! We are also enjoying preparing for Christmas reading this Advent story. It is a captivating story for sure. Last year we read the first book of the series "Jotham's Journey" It was very thrilling yet uplifting, and it prepares you for the worship of Christ's birth for sure. I would not recommend it with smaller children though. Emma is 8 and is really enjoying it, although it can be a little brutal at times. Be prepared, It is written not to create a fairy tale version of Jesus's life, it portrays what life in Jesus's times were really like, and some of the dark sides of life that we may have to go through one day. But it is a great read by far :)
Enjoy your Christmas season!
A little girl sat and watched the unceasing world around her and knew this could not be all... The unexplainable wonders and the reality of Love was more than this world could offer... There must be more. She sought endless and only in the arms of surrender she found the truth and peace she seeked. The love that had died for her before she was even born.

Preparing for Christmas
I have been so excited to give my Christmas tree a new look this year! I am Loving how everything is turning out. I was able to repurpose some of my worn out, boring ornaments with a few cheap items...Doilies from a thrift shop, a $3 roll of twine and some pinecones from my sisters yard...Thanks Jessy :) I'm not finished yet, but here are a few little details so far.
