Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~Matthew 6:21~
Our beloved family and friends, we pray your hearts will be lifted in praise this Christmas for the precious gift of Jesus and the joy He brings. We treasure you among the blessings and gifts He gives. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Here’s a video for you, sharing the highlights of our 2012. And also, our digital Christmas card (plus what we didn’t want to show in it).
I’m sorry I’m late with this! I am posting from Phoenix-area, Arizona. Leading up to getting here I got a little busy and neglected to post the winners of the whiteboard weekly planner giveaway.

My friend Deb from Paper Tree Designs makes lovely, whiteboard, dry-erase, magnetic, family weekly planners. I keep mine on the fridge.
With this planner, we know at a glance who needs to be where or do what during the coming week. Workshops, youth group, meetings, church, homeschooling events, get-togethers with friends… Each person gets a column and we fill in their activities for the week. Not only functional — but beautiful.

More stuff than I realized was stuffed in there! Some old papers I wanted to burn rather than leave behind should something happen to me. No, I’m not foreshadowing anything. More than anything, it was a chance to play with fire with C.. C. likes old things. He thought this charred airmail letter was cool. [...]
To family and friends far and wide — we’re grateful for your love and friendship. This video shares some of our family’s memories from 2011. As we look back on 2011 and see all the blessings God has given, we can’t help but be excited for 2012. Merry Christmas and God bless you all!
