Pictures of Christmas Eve with the Roths

Lunch started at 2. . . or 3ish! We all enjoyed yummy food and lots of laughs round the tables! It can get quite crowded in Grandma Roth's house when we all pile in! Later we sang some carols, read the story of the birth and coming of Jesus, and then opened gifts.

Lauren, who looks very good I might add, for just giving birth a month ago!


Lorena Kay!

At 10:30 PM we all met at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for the annual candle light service! It's such a great tradition.

Advent!



Hey guys. Just thought it would be fun to share how our individual families are celebrating this Advent season!

One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is the anticipation that builds and builds all the way til Christmas Eve when you can hardly stand it any longer and then. . .Christmas morning finally comes! We celebrate the lowly birth of God himself, born to save us!

So anyway, I'd love to hear about any traditions you have or would like to start in your homes during this season of anticipating and remembering our Savior's birth. I was challenged this Saturday to also let this season be a time to anticipate His coming! He has come and He will come again!
