Our getaway to south Dakota.

 We stayed at a hotel with a water park for the kids.

 We went to go see mt. Rushmore. It was so beautiful. The kids even enjoyed it.

 I found the hills and lakes beautiful here.

 We did some shopping in downtown.

Our Easter eggs.

We were all had a stomach bug but we still enjoyed painting our Easter eggs.

Spring dance.

Isabelle had her spring dance. She has really enjoyed this class this year. It is so fun to see her dance to her heart's delight.

Snow days.

We still have been having fun in the snow at the end of march.

Perfect love.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whomsoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

As I reflect this Christmas season...the first gift at Christmas was a parent's love for his children...a perfect love.God so loved his children that he sent  his only son that we may someday return to him...I can't imagine this sacrifice but I am in awe for this amazing gift.

Our loving father made a promise to Mary and he was faithful. I am so thankful for his faithfulness and sacrifice. I am thankful for the promise that you will be with us always and never leave us and the promise to have eternal life with you. Thank you for your unconditional love for us!!

Merry Christmas to all of you...May you have peace,joy,and feel God's love all year long.

Happy Birthday Jesus...We celebrate the gift of you!!
