We had a wonderful Christmas Day! We started off at church, where we experienced a wonderful worship service. My siblings and I sang for the first time together, which was really special. Here it is if you missed when I posted it that day:
After church, we snapped some pictures!

| Our family on Christmas Day, 2011! |
 |
| Evy Kate, Liam, and Uncle with Ellie, our worship pastor's daughter (she's the youngest of five kids!). You'll also notice that Evy and Liam were "angels" in Lifegroup that morning. :) |

That evening, we had Christmas with my family. It was so fun! Chaotic, but fun! ;)
 |
| I made Alyssa some decorative things for her classroom when she starts teaching next year. I got the idas from Pinterest and they turned out really cute! I'll get more pictures and share. :) |

| You can kind of see what Andrea is holding up - the picture of the little boy. We shopped the Samaritan's Purse catalog for each of our family members. In Dad's honor, an evangelist will be trained in a third world country. In Mom's honor, a nursing mother and child will be fed for a week, and in my siblings' honor, three different children will be fed for a week. I surprised Kurt and in his honor, a medical missionary will be trained in a third world country. We're praying that God expands these gifts for His kingdom! |

It was a wonderful, laid-back Christmas Day, and we are so thankful for spending time with our family!
