Here are the pictures we took at Christmas. I wish the pictures were better. I am no photographer. But it was so good and rare to have all the kids together and all my brothers and sisters. It just doesn't happen very often so I wish the pictures were better. I have a lot of action shots too, but there are too many to post all of them. I can't get the picture of me and my siblings to load, but I will try again later. Mother, I know you want to see that one. Well, I took the Christmas decorations down today and Travis spent the day putting together a toy shelf and puppet theater for the kids. We have to take the tree down tomorrow. We got to go to church together and have communion. The service was very nice especially since we were together. With Travis teaching 3 year olds and Kemper's nap schedule, we rarely go together. I know that sounds odd, but our church has 2 services and then adult Bible fellowship classes so it makes for a very long day for Kemper. I usually put him down for AM nap and then join Travis for our class which means I miss the service, but I can get a copy online. The message today was about New Year's resolutions so I need to carefully consider what I want to do. I have continued to run so far since my birthday, but I did not go today. I know that exercise should be a top priority at my age. I also want to change my Bible study habits and group. I have been going to Community Bible Study with the kids. It is fabulous, but it is at a church that is farther away than I care to travel so I plan to switch to our churches 'Women in the Word' study since it is very close to our home. The other thing that I need to do more of is scrap. I haven't put together a page for my albums in over a month. Part of the reason is the time I spent on gift albums during the last few weeks, but I also need to get my table and supplies organized. Ugh. that will be a major chore. So there you have an overview of what I think will be my 'resolution' list. I bet you have a few things on your list too. God bless our efforts but even more our intentions. Know what I mean?
