The most wonderful time of year has arrived! Busy schedules with church functions,
Christmas parties, family get-togethers, Christmas parades, and more lend to a hectic pace. But it's worth it all to celebrate the Reason for the Season! Here's a peek into how we celebrate...
JESUS!!! He's the reason we celebrate!!

Our Family Tree
This tree has a theme, and it's family. Every ornament on this tree was given to us by a family member, very close friends, or obtained on a special trip to remind us of our time spent there. There are usually a couple of new ones added each year to represent different events in our lives from the previous year. We also have 4 ornaments given to us by friends that were on our very first tree as a married couple 25 Christmases ago. Each ornament holds sentimental value to us and that's what makes our tree so very special to us!

German Hutch
This hutch was found on the side of the road in Germany while we were living there in the early 90's by some of our friends. They already had one, so they gave this one to us. It was a labor of love (and hate) to refinish it, but is was well worth the effort! I bought the dishes while in Germany also. |

Den Mantle
The theme here is Santa! Most of these were found during our time in Germany. |

| This window came from my great grandmother's house. This idea was inspiration from a Pinterest photo. |

The Kitchen Tree
This tree is full of hand made ornaments from my daughters that were made at school and church over the years. It also contains their Disney ornaments from our trips to Disney World.
