Merry Christmas!

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6

Merry Christmas!

I thought you might enjoy some of the millions of many pictures I took to get one that was Christmas card worthy.

I think this is Slater the Cat's online debut. She's about 16 y/o, drools, is blind and half deaf, and Shane loves her tremendously. He carries her all over the house like a sack of potatoes and he was adamant that she be in the pictures, too. If you look closely you can see the puddle of drool on Jake's leg.

And Hank thought Blu should be in the pictures too. So now I, not a professional, have 3 little kids, 1 geriatric cat and a belligerent dog to photograph for a Christmas card. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

And the winner

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas filled with laughter and treasured family memories as you reflect on the awesome gift of Jesus to us.

And huge kudos to Hank who was sick the day we took these pix
