Pictures

OK-after a fairly depressing post last time (no pun intended) I figured everyone might like some pictures from the holidays. Enjoy!

The Maxson Christmas in Ohio. We enjoyed two "first" Christmas'. What cuties!!!

The Christner Christmas is always fun. Emma and Hailey were the "Belle's" of the day.


Christmas inside and outside at our home.

Jack helped read the Christmas story with Grandpa.

The boys enjoyed lots of Star Wars toys this year.

Emma got lots of accessories for dressing up.

She even got a "real" piece of jewelry which came from an amazing business called "Destiny Rescue". Each piece of jewelry is made by girls rescued from prostitution. The proceeds then go back to help more girls find freedom and healing.

Alex got a Bible. He was thrilled (which thrilled my heart as well).

We also got to spend Christmas with Grandpa here in Indiana. As he opened presents Emma stood nearby asking "What is it Great-Grandpa? What is it?"

It has been a great two weeks or so. We have seen and enjoyed our families. We are definitely blessed far beyond what we deserve and so we remain thankful for each moment we have to be with each other.
