Christmas 2007

Ok so I never posted our Christmas pictures from 07. We of course went home for Christmas to both or our parent's homes. It just would not be Christmas if we didn't. We do our Meyer Manor Christmas here in Tn, on the Saturday before we go. So the girls love all the Christmas' they get. One with us, one with my folks, his folks, my best friend spoils them, Santa, and then came home to Derrick and Becca having more presents. Oh and all the small group kids pick out a gift for each child from the dollar story. They get so into picking out the perfect gift for each other. It is quite cute and they all have 6 dollar gifts to open at our party. So here is a few pictures:

Picture 1 Is all the Michau's, kids and grand kids.

Picture 2 Is Meyer Grand kids

Picture 3 Is My parents, me and my three brothers

Picture 4 Is our small group kids

I am sure I will post more, this is all it would let me. I am having all kinds of blogging issues.

13 days until Christmas

OK so the title of this blog in itself stresses me out. Which is exactly the opposite of what my pastor as been preaching about. It is so hard to keep your focus and not get stressed out. The presents, the parties, the money, the wrapping, the traveling, the cards (that I am sure I will not mail again this year) - oh my!!!

So if you read my blog and have great ideas on how to focus on Christ this Christmas and not on all the other stuff that HAS to be done, please respond. My kids are getting older and I am feeling like I need to come up with more grown up things to help them focus on the real meaning of the season. Of course we will have a happy birthday Jesus party, read the bible story all month, buy gifts for others, sing the songs but I would love to hear if you have any other ideas to share.

I plan to post some pictures of the house all decked and the girls in their Christmas outfits but in case I don't blog until the new year - I pray you and your family will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
