Preparations

Today's post may be short because I'm extremely busy. Let's just say...stressed! For those of you that don't know my family is headed to Bangladesh a week from Friday. We have something every night this week and weekend and exams start Tuesday. We are having Christmas at my parent's house on Wednesday and Thursday at our house. It's gonna get crazy around here. Pray for us as we prepare for this trip. I want it to be good for Philip but I'm scared and worried about so many things.

I'm posting some pictures of our family that my dad took at Thanksgiving and some of us putting up the Christmas decorations. I may not post again before we get back from our trip. I'm sure that I will have tons to say about that. Have a very Merry Christmas!

The family

Brice (almost 15)

Shelby (12)

Eli (7)

Brice is looking real excited! But I won't complain. At least he participated this year.

Me and Shel

The tree!
I love all the old ornaments on our tree. The kids love to remember when they made some of them or when we got one. We get them a new ornament every year. They are shown below...

Brice's for his first deer!

Shelby's because she always has her camera!

Eli's because he loves video games.
