the children are nestled all snug in their beds....

We had a great low-key Christmas eve, filled with family time! David was able to have the whole day off of work, and for that, all four of us were very thankful!
With David leading, we made cookies for Santa....









We were very thankful that weather improved slightly this afternoon, after a day full of horrible weather. We got ready and headed to church. We were so excited that SuSu and G decided to come to our church with us.

Then we finished the night off with another tradition...David lit a pathway of sparklers in the front of our house for Santa...the kids loved to watch...
Elise even remembered that last year the sparklers were different colors, and was quite concerned that he would know it was still us. She cracks me up.


And now, everyone is tucked in. We are all looking forward to a few days filled with family and friends. Mo and Phillip are en route at this moment after a trip through some of the horrible rain. We can't wait to see them and to spend some time together.
We hope you and your families are filled with the love of family, the warmth of friendship, the joy of Christmas, and the Peace of Jesus this holiday season.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
The Parnell Five
