Posing for Christmas Card Photos...

Our good friend Julie was kind enough to do a "photo session" of my family..to help us get some good photos for our Christmas cards. We all agreed that working with a large dog who only likes to play and not pose...was similar to working with small children. But we still had a good time. Julie is turning into a GREAT little photograher...she even managed to make me not hate every photo of myself and that takes real talent. So again, a big THANKS Julie!!

Aww... I LOVE my family!!

Small Group Christmas Party

Jay and I hosted a Christmas Party for our small group. We had friends from our Church small group and also other friends from the neighborhood. We must have had 25 people in our home...it was definitely a first, but such a nice evening. I can only imagine if they hadn't all gotten babysitters!!

Snow in Clute!!

OK, so my pictures aren't very good. It was hard to take photos of the snow in the dark, but at least you can see from the photos that it was actually snowing. It actually snowed on my 33rd birthday!! Since it has only snowed here one other time in like the past 15 years...of course that also made Houston traffic VERY special as well!!!
