Christmas JOY

WOW! What a wonderful Christmas we had! It was awesome! So much fun with friends and family.

I believe Christmas and JOY go hand in hand. All holidays are special in their own way. For some reason though Christmas is a little extra special. We feel JOY in celebrating and reJOYcing in the birth of our Savior! We find JOY in giving special gifts to those we love. We see JOY in our children's eyes on Christmas morning.
JOYfulness is felt throughout the day when you see and spend time with those you love.

I enJOY the fact that our Christmas doesn't end on Christmas day. We spend the entire week reliving Christmas moments with family and friends we don't get the pleasure of seeing on Christmas day. We were able to host our SEVENTH "Christmas" breakfast for Jer's family and on New Years we will have Christmas with my dad. So much fun!

We had a snowstorm the night after Christmas which brings so much enJOYment to our girls!
Despite some car issues this week we were able to look on the bright side of things...that even though it happened it was great that it happened while Jer's dad (who is a mechanic) was here visiting!

I hope you were able to find the JOY this Christmas with your family!
