Christmas in a Nutshell.

A doozy of a Christmas. Our favorite one yet - and that's saying something considering I alone have 33 others under my belt. Lots of family. Lots of delicious food. Lots of sitting around. Lots of memories and laughter.

She has made this Christmas new and alive for us. 

One of the Christmas cards we received had this message. 

"Christmas is a reason to be joyful, to believe. A reason to be grateful for the blessings we receive. A reason to have faith and trust in our gracious Lord above...Christmas is a reason to be filled with hope and love."

Onward to 2015.
