...and any opportunity to make memories with them. [grin]
It was a delight to spend a whole week in Nebraska with family! The little ones keep growing up and learning new things, sister-talks are as sweet as ever, the guys crack jokes and make us laugh, the lights all twinkle and glow, delicious food and the whole family gathered around the table -- before you know it another Christmas has come and gone!

--Ruth and Asher--
--Arianna enjoying all the paper and ribbon laying around--
It was boys vs. girls when it came to decorating gingerbread houses.
--candlelight service--
--Sunday afternoon treat at Red Mango--
--late night snuggles with Aunt Esther--
The Beasley men all ready to head out for the second-annual 10 mile Christmas Eve run.
(We girls opted to spend the afternoon in the kitchen!)
--Arianna playing with her cousins--
--gorgeous girls--
--smiles with Aunt Alaythia--
Arianna made herself at home --

O God of our salvation...
You crown the year with Your goodness."
