Christmas Joy~

At the end of our worship service today our church asked our family down along with the Osbornes so they could pray over us as we prepare to travel. It was a sweet time of love and Joy! Words can't describe the feeling of peace that washed over us as our church family coverd us with prayer!

We came home to a delicious lunch and then back to church for Christmas program practice (Go Fish Guys) and cookie decorating to be taken to the retirement home in town~
SO proud of EK and SJ for being brave to stand on the stage... no worries for WP... 
EK even has a little speaking part. :)

The late afternoon was spent with this beautiful group of Joy~

  4. I can't wait to try the lemon cookies. I love lemon! I am so happy that you belong to such a wonderful church congregation that holds you dear in your hearts. How can the lord not be with you as you travel to bring one of his babies home. I am getting so excited for your guys. It looks like our 1-800 A will go out on MOnday or Tuesday, so we are one step closer. Yahoo!
