It seems so easy to be thankful at Christmas time. So many gifts. Christmas carols, trees, lights, church services...but even as I name these gifts, I am mindful that these things really aren't the best gift of all.

Dayspring Quilted Tree Skirt {more on contentment}
Every year as we put up our Christmas tree, I pray and beg God to let my children learn early in life that Jesus is the gift.

Our Christmas Tree
I have been trying to get a few pictures of our Christmas tree and have found that Christmas trees are very hard for me to get a good picture of, for some reason! It must be the lights! And the big picture window behind ours. Anyway, so I keep trying, because someday I want to be able to remember our very "kid friendly" Christmas tree. :) So, here is our tree 2011, still trying to get a good picture. ha! And then a picture of our tree this year. Still as kid-friendly and well loved as ... Read More about Our Christmas Tree
