four christmases...

Finally, I will post some pictures from our first Christmas together! We had a busy one, but it was a great one. We are so blessed with 3 different sets of family that love us very much and remind us of Christ every time we are with them. Thanks for all the great memories for our first Christmas together! Enjoy the pictures...

Does this mean your computer is back up and running? What great pictures and how blessed you two are. You two made all 4 Christmases very special for your family - thank you for being who you are, to us and each other. The "traditions" have begun. Love you both bunches and already miss you so very much.
Hug each other and give Paige a hug from me,
