Lord, you are amazing!

8lb's 12 oz's......a pure miracle from our Lord!

Christmas Eve

It's Christmas eve, and there are so many pictures I want to post just from the past few days. Lots of fun, lots of reflections with our girls, and many talks revolving around Jesus. It's HIS birthday and we are celebrating all weekend with church services, cake, and bible stories! As we wait for this sweet baby boy to join our family, I think of Mary and how she must of felt to carry our Savior in her tummy. Can you imagine?  I love to read about the angel Gabriel telling 

her of this good news and to think of how bright that star must have shone above them! 

Addie was able to sit in "big church" with us tonight and it was wonderful......

When we came home, the girls opened one gift from each other and then one from 

mommy and daddy!

Of course, we had to make sure Santa's reindeer were fed before his big arrival....

Daddy read to us before bed.

There sure is a lot of love within our four walls, and we feel more than blessed. Brad and I talked after church about how much the Lord has blessed us....just amazing.

It's Christmas eve and we are EXCITED! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Coolest Gift EVER!

Dear Aunt Liz,

You couldn't have chosen a better, more exciting gift if you had tried. We LOVE it and played in it for HOURS today!!! We love you!

Love,

Addie and Carlie

Just Another Night....

...at the Perkins' house. 

Play-Doh

Fun with Play-Doh at our Christmas exchange with my sister and family!

Yes, it's messy but we LOVE it. It's colorful, creative, and honestly 

it's a lot of fun! 

Oh....update on baby boy? As of today, I am 2cm dilated and 75% efface. Who knows when he will arrive?!? Any guesses?

Little Bethlehem

Last night, we braved the cold to go see Little Bethlehem in Gilbert, SC at the First Baptist Church. If you want to know more, you can check it out here. Thank you Cortney for encouraging us to go! We were so thankful for the precious reminder of what Christmas 

is really all about!
