Isaiah 46:10 He says "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Oh Lord, how we try to make this the truth in our own lives....I personally have tried very hard this year to remember the Reason for the Season, to relax, to not over-schedule our holidays. I've tried to enjoy the little things and let the kids be kids. If they want to see the same light display 4 times, in 4 days, let them. If it's too cold to go to the North Pole (an amusement park at the foot of Pikes Peak), then don't go, let the schedule be flexible. Part of me wants to fit it all in, this is our last year here in Colorado, we have to do it all!
Today we went to the Broadmoor, the fanciest hotel here in town, and other than the Brown Palace in Denver, I think in the state of CO. It really is quite beautiful and at this time of year, it is all decorated and they had cupcake decorating and crafts for the kids to do. Quite a bit of fun for everyone involved and we got some cute pictures too.

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..."
We're heading out now for Christmas Eve Communion, and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas....He is born this day!
Today was a fun day! I'm so glad I got to spend it with you guys. I love that in the last photo of me with the kids that the kids look absolutely adorable, but, I of course, have no neck and look massively overweight. Ha! I guess it's true what they say, the camera adds 500 pounds. ;) Love you! Kate
