Just Before Christmas

Praying for peace



and creative minds

where the older will teach the younger generation about YOU.







Praying for more soldiers in your army who will fight for your glory,



who will give to you and to one another...


because of a baby...


who changed everything.


God came to be among us.

And because of that we are so blessed and we celebrate together on Christmas day but also every day - because of a baby.

Christmas at Dad and Hilda's

Snuggled in her cradle - as you can see - not sleeping!!
Nadia was very alert the whole evening - she doesn't like to sleep much :).

With Uncle Ryan



Baby (????) Dylan. I guess he's not the baby anymore.


Auntie Michelle with Nadia.


Playing a fun game.


Michelle and Ryan worked very well together - no nattering!! I was impressed - not that I would expect that from them anyway.

Ethan keeping Nadia occupied. He always does a great job holding his little sister.

Peter being Peter - Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the kids.

This was from a different day - building the gingerbread house.
This candy reminds me of the Nutcracker.

It's a tradition - Grandma F. gives the children a house every year and
they have fun decorating it!! Ethan did the front view here.


Oops, just turn your head sideways. One last Nadia shot - I did not want to fix this but I think you get the idea of how so into this world Nadia is. She reminds me alot of Aleana. We think she has the same wine stain birth mark as Aleana does - only differance is that Nadia's is on her left eye lid and Aleana's is on her collarbone. She is NOT going to like that but maybe we can convince her otherwise - I think it's cute and unique.
