Prima Ballerina

Beth performed in her first ballet recital on December 16 with her preschool class. They performed to the music of the Nutcracker. Beth has a lot of fun....and we loved watching her!

Christmas memories...part 2 and 3

Our annual Nutcracker outing! Such a fun memory for the special girls in my life....

Gran and Caroline graced us with their presence.  And we were truly graced.  Loved having yall with us! 

Sweet friends.

Hope of one day being a "real ballerina".

And hope that this big ol' lollipop might just be real.

Beth sang in her first Christmas concert at our church this holiday season.  She had some big fans that came out to watch her debut.



Thankful.  For family that is helping shape our little girl's confidence and character. Thanks for making her feel like a superstar!

Some random memories from Christmas eve at my parents house (part 2)...
Love is

...a new Sesame Street remote control that you think is a phone.  Doesn't get much better than that.

....joy.

....cousins and passies.

....an incredible legacy.  This is a pic of my Pappaw Tag...one of the most amazing men I've ever known.  And our little man's namesake.

And Christmas morning at our house (part 3)...

Love is

...surprise!  Who knew a pink webkin pony would elicit such joy?

...family.  I made this "You are Special" plate for our family this Christmas.  It's one of our favorite dinner-time traditions.

...an unsolicited hug.  There's really nothing better.  Faith hugging me as I show off my new boots.

...free.  I love having daughters.  I hope to always teach them about the free gift of love that Christ has given us.  Just reading a book to Faith Anna that we had made for her.

...always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.
