2012!

It's New Years Eve.

Do you know what that means?

It means this year will be over in less than 24 hours.

I don't really get what the big deal is besides to keep track of time, I mean we don't celebrate the end and beginning of each month, right?

But, it still is fun anyway! 

What New Years Eve means to some people (like me):

Staying up late, well for me...it's probably some other peoples bed times.. :P

Eating finger food, like pigs in a blanket. Yum!

Getting really tired, but forcing yourself to stay up long enough to see the ball drop, marking the new year.

Playing games with family

Remembering your first paying babysitting experience three years ago... but I guess that just applies me :)

Being able to say that we survived 2012 and that only God knows when the world will really end.

Have a great time exploring the first of 2013, but don't forget what's happened in 2012. :)

-Emma :D

PS. Changes coming in 2013... not lots, but still changes. :)

Yet again, more Christmas Pictures!

Yep, there's more, this time including snow!

Christmas Has Come!

Christmas has come!

So here is my Christmas post. And there are pictures, and there's a lot of the them, so there will be more sporadic posts of pictures in the coming days! :)

A Christmas Village

 Christmas tree

Gingerbread house

As we open presents and spend time with family, we cannot forget the true meaning of Christmas:

 Luke 2: 6-14

⁶ While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, ⁷ and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

⁸ And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

-Emma :D

PS. I had planned for more pictures, but the computer is slow, I hope to post on Thursday
