Haul Out the Holly

"30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God  31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.  32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High.  The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end."  Luke 1: 30-33

The Stoves household is buzzing with excitement!  It's Christmas time!

Little Mac is showing an unmatched enthusiasm for all things, "Christmas."
He loves to point out the lights on houses as we drive past, and he will let you know if they are on the right or the left.  He also loves to watch Christmas movies every day!  At this very moment, "Polar Express" is playing on our TV for probably the fifth time this week!

Big D is also busy taking in all of the sights and sounds of the season. 
It is such a joy to watch him experience his first Christmas.

Last week we sat down as a family, on a comfy palate in the living room to watch our first Christmas movie of the year.  I would love to say that it was a meaningful, timeless classic...but alas, it was "Elf!"  Who doesn't love Will Ferrell acting like he is five years old?

We also enjoyed a fun, family evening of decorating our Christmas tree while listening to Christmas carols.

 

Merry Christmas!
