can you believe it? nate and i were in the children's christmas musical at church on wednesday. he was "jimi" and i was "janis!" in the program, the kids came caroling to our door, and we explained how we liked to celebrate all the holidays... earth day, flag day, mardi gras... wouldn't wanna leave any out. :) gotta keep all your bases covered little dudes. (sorry, those were a few of our lines!) but the musical was awesome and the meaning of it was really neat. it was all about knowing what you really believe in. so this christmas, we hope to remember the true meaning of the season... which is jesus christ, coming to this world as a little baby, to later die for the sins of all mankind. if you don't know what you believe or why you believe it, it's easy to be misled. it's also easy to get caught up in all the christmas fun: the parties, decorating, santa, presents... and i believe all those things are lots of fun, but we are trying hard to keep the true focus on jesus! if you have never heard the christmas story, or you are unsure what christmas is all about, grab a bible, or a laptop even, and find the gospels. it's told in matthew, and also in luke 2. make sure you know what you believe this christmas season, and why you believe it!!
peace out!

Very true! And well said. We try so hard to keep our kids focused and understand what this is all about. Which is part of the reason they only get to ask for three things from Santa. If it was good enough for baby Jesus, it's good enough for us!! :) And yes, that's what we tell them.
Love the costumes.
That seems like a very different but great way to get across the message of Christmas!! Ya'll are cute!! Merry Christmas!! Love ya, Silena
