We've had so much fun watching Lily Grace! Hearing hear play and seeing the delight on her face is truly something special.
We thank everyone for your beautiful Christmas cards, warm wishes and gifts.
While we have exchanged and unwrapped gifts this morning, we know that the greatest gift isn't under the tree. Our greatest gift is and always will be the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus for loving us so very much!
May the peace of our Lord be with you today and always!

Matt and Lily Grace commissioned Ashley to do this beautiful church piece for me. I have been so excited to unwrap this thing. I can't begin to describe how beautiful it is in person and this photo doesn't do it justice. I wanted a new piece for the upstairs hall and LG and I fell in love with Ashley's churches. Once opened, I looked on the back to see she had titled it, "Blessed Beyond Measure." Needless to say I teared right up. I say this often and feel it even more. Thank you Ashely for this beautiful piece. Your love for God truly shows through it. I love having your work hang in our home. |

| Lily Grace has really been hoping for the Grace's American Girl Patisserie. She's looked at this large box sit by the tree for days. I simply told her that it held gifts for her from the family. This year, instead of several gifts under the tree, her gran, grandma, grandpa and Matt and I went together to give her this very special gift. She knew getting it was more likely not to happen. I can't begin to tell you her excitement and how much play this thing has already seen this morning. She wasted no time getting out one of her American Girl catalogs to see how they had set it up. Thank you so very much to both sets of grandparents for making her wish come true. I know this is something she will remember and cherish. |

| This is the priceless look on her face when she finally realized what was in this box. She looked at me as if for reassurance that it truly was what she thought. |

All in the mix of course |

Beautiful!! Thank you Matt for going out yesterday and getting the hardware to hang this. You know me so well and knew that I would want to see it up right away. I love you!
