This month has definitely been busy and exciting for us in Texas, December started out with snow that lasted for a few hours right here in Friendswood! You can check out some of our snow pics from last Christmas HERE. We also had a children’s choir and party at First Baptist Church Friendswood on Dec 6th. My son got to sing in that and make some cute Crafts. This year for our Tree we decorated in Star Wars style using Gold, Silver and Blue ornaments and the Clone Wars toys from McDonalds really made a fun and beautiful tree! I am on a themed tree kick every year and I’m even planning next years already! Thursday was a fun cookie party for us we even got to have a friend over to help with the gingerbread cookies. Thank you Natalie! After this weekend I doubt I will have the time to post more so for now I hope this will do!

The month of December is almost over. I can’t believe that Christmas is just upon us and it still feels like it is Fall. I’m thinking of the soldiers that are deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq right now while we are free to celebrate Christmas here in the US many aren’t free to express religion around the world. Thanks to those men and women that fight to protect what isn’t ours for free but is bought by the price of their sacrifice and lives. These soldiers defend our freedoms every day. Some we even take for granted like the freedom to say "Merry Christmas". Well, this Christmas we are giving back thanks to AnySoldier.com anyone can get in touch with service men and women around the world to share our appreciation for all that they do. I thought I would share some of the cards that I got to send this year and also the ones I’ve made for family and friends. I hope you feel inspired to share the Christmas spirit this year. Merry Christmas!
