Christmas Decorations at our House..!

Ana Maria, standing in front of our house in the middle of our Christmas lights and decorations. With the camera flash, it's a bit difficult to see how pretty the lights are :-)


Here is our favorite Christmas decoration -- our little Nativity set in the front yard. I made a few camera adjustments for this shot. I think it turned out pretty good! We like our Nativity Set so well because we want to show to the world Who Christmas is about. Our Lord is so good to us, how can we not proclaim the good news about Him to the world. Below is a video I made of our Christmas village atop our piano.

Birthdays!

I've been negligent in posting the last couple of months. But before I forget, I want to post a couple of memorable family events: My Grandma, Mom, and sister's birthday gatherings. We love to get together for birthdays (as you can tell from looking over a large portion of our blog:)). Here are a couple of pictures and videos from the occasions.

I saw this video on YouTube...

My sister told me about this video on YouTube. The song is "New Again" sung by Brad Paisley and Sara Evans. The video feature scenes from the movie "The Passion of The Christ." I know it is not Easter, and everyone is busy about getting ready for Christmas, but I couldn't resist posting the video on our site. Christ came to earth for the very purpose of dying for our sins. About 33 years after He was born of a virgin, he made atonement for the sin of all humanity. The video is such a powerful reminder of the amazing love Christ has for all of us. When we sing "Joy to the World" this season, let's remember that we can have this joy because of the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus!

Ana and I had a great time ringing the bell for the Salvation Army Saturday! We sang Christmas carols for hours :) Mom stopped by & snapped this pic!
