Christmas 19/January 2020

 This was the picture we used for our Christmas card this year, but I'm sure you knew that already...since we probably sent you one!

 Due to the fact that there are so few girl lines in the Christmas story, we had six different "Gabriel"s - Anna was one of them -

 Aaron J. is that small shepherd in the middle -

 The plan is to let all of the girls in church be Mary at least once - this year was Esther's turn - and there was a real live baby boy for her to hold:)

 We did our program this year on a Sunday morning, then we hurried down to TRF and did a modified version -

 We were actually only home for one week in December, which made Christmas feel different, but the best thing about going to TN for Christmas was the weather - it was in the 60s some and the kids had a great time playing (and eating) outside!

 We went to a Christmas Eve service at Aaron's parent's church.

 The whole S. family was supposed to wear black and red plaid for family pictures...

 Aaron and his Dad and two brothers -

 We celebrated our 10th anniversary! So hard to believe!

 Lydia's learning to eat -

 Grace is getting more hair -

 More Christmas - Esther

 Julia -

 Aaron -

 Julia is such a good big sister -

 This is at my parent's house -

 Esther and Lydia -

 I have a picture of Julia and Grace in these dresses, and now Grace and Lydia!

So this is February - Anna turned 8 years old!
