merry & bright - christmas 2005

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 8:12

2005 was a Merry Christmas, indeed! It was the first Christmas we shared with our puppy Chloe. Once again, Sean's Granny Jane outdid herself in decorating for our Holiday luncheon... the dining room was decked out in a waaay cute and whimsical "Snowman" theme. One of my fave traditions is having my MIL's breakfast quiche early Christmas morning after opening gifts and going through stockings... YUM-O!!

It's nice to go back and look at pictures of Christmas past, remembering the good-- and in some cases the bad and the ugly (White Elephant gift exchanges)--times. Amidst the parties and the presents, it's important to remember what's truly IMPORTANT, God's faithfulness and forgiveness. The greatest gift of all: salvation through Christ Jesus.
