Merry Christmas to Me!


Thank you, Aaron!

Billy Graham Library Christmas






Disclaimer- We do realize Asher's face is dirty in these pictures. We didn't realize that it was SO dirty until the flash on the camera really captured it for us. eesh. I know he's a 2nd child and all, but we really do bathe him. Poor boy has food on his face in every.single.picture we take!

He can eat cheerios and climb stairs now- 8 months old already?

A bit fuzzy, but you get the picture, Santa was not a big hit.

Another Azaylee Quote...

"What would you like for dinner tonight, Azaylee?" I asked, expecting the usual "chicken nucks" answer
Zay- "oh, just a casserole"
Me- " A casserole?"
Zay- " yeah, with chicken in it, maybe"

How old is she?? :)

Azaylee Quotes!

Me- "Azaylee you need to stop screaming at Asher. You need to have a happy heart and talk to him in a nice way."
Azaylee- "YES MAAM!"
Me- "Is your heart happy now?"
Azaylee- "No, but my toes are!" - she said as she wiggled her toes where I could see them


Azaylee as she was having a snack of goldfish, started placing every other goldfish on the coffee table in a pile.
me- "Azaylee, why are you putting your snack on the table?"
Azaylee- "For Leighra."
Me looking confused
Azaylee- "She wants some and she's comin later to get 'em"

Encouragement

“Christian thanksgiving is the life of Christ in the heart — transforming the disposition and the whole character.

Thanksgiving must be wrought into the life as a habit—before it can become a fixed and permanent quality.

An occasional burst of praise, in the midst of years of complaining, is not what is required. Songs on rare, sunshiny days; and no songs when skies are cloudy—will not make a life of gratitude. The heart must learn to sing always.

This lesson is learned only when it becomes a habit which nothing can weaken. We must persist in being thankful.

When we can see no reason for praise—we must believe in the divine love and goodness, and sing in the darkness.

Thanksgiving has attained its rightful place in us, only when it is part of all our days and dominates all our experiences.”

J. R. Miller, 1912
