our Christmas theme for this year:
"it may not be perfect, but if Christmas can point our hearts towards our Savior we can rejoice even in the imperfections of the season."

I am looking forward to your blog posts while you're away, it helps ease the pain of distance. Your children look so sweet and happy!! What a wonderful gift that keeps on giving!! Love, MOM
Awesome, definitely picture perfect!
What a great post! So many fantastic pictures! A few thoughts: Justin is getting so handsome. I love your tree and the star above your piano. I didn't even know you had a piano! Why did I not know this? Everyone does look so happy (well, for the most part)! Oh, and the booby trap... genius! I miss you, Julie! But I am glad you are so well. :)
i love your new house. your stone fireplace is so pretty! i wish we had one of those :) and i love the nativity with your kids!
Love that quote, and the picture with the little star in the foreground. Your posts always make me happy, Julie :)
I am so glad Jill! Catherine...that fireplace ROCKS huh?! haha. ;) It has it's own personality for sure! Michelle- The piano was only there 1 time when you came to my house. It was on the right around the corner as you came in my house. Which house I do miss! And yes, I was a genius concerning the boobie trap! ;)
what a fun Christmas, julie! Perfection is overrated! Cute pictures!
Oh Julie, I love your family. You make family life look so fun!! (not that it's not, but you seem to squeeze a little extra fun out of it!)
