Christmas in Arizona-- 2012

We reflect on the fact that last Christmas Jeff was very ill and we were unable to visit Arizona at Christmas… and are so thankful for God’s protection and healing or Jeff’s body!
We always love to be together with Jeff’s parents, his brother’s and their families.
This year was no exception.
We had the kids pose by the Christmas Tree. 
Once with their Christmas Jammies…

As you can see… Myah was less than happy about having her picture taken at that moment!
and once with their Christmas Clothes!

I am not sure what they were looking at… but it was obviously NOT ME!
After breakfast… it was time to read the Bible and reflect on the reason we celebrate Christmas…..
and then on to the presents!

Treasured Time with Ivy Joy and Mary too!

Princess M and I were blessed to spend time with Ivy Joy and her mommy Mary,                                     while we were in Arizona for Christmas.

Silly us… we decided to meet at the mall.

Once we met up… we went straight to the Train!
