Merry Christmas! Jesus is the reason for the season!!
Glory to the newborn KING!!



And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:17-20

I hope that everyone has a great holiday with their family and friends
enjoying love and laughter all year long!

Parker got his Christmas card in this week!!
He loved it! Grandpa Creel always sends Parker
a Christmas card and as the picture shows Parker
reads it and enjoys the holidays too!

Jack joined the girls for girls night this week at sushi!
He was a blast! Jack was a big flirt with the waitresses who
thought he was super cute!

Ross made a fire in the apartment!
He did a great job! Nothing caught on fire and
we stayed nice and cozy!!

Tyler GRADUATED!!!
He completed the Orange County fire academy program
in California and moved back to TX!
He is taking December off to go hunting with Dad
but will soon be looking for a fireman position in the area!
We are so proud of Tyler and excited for his future!
Tyler is holding the cookies and cream cake I made him
for his graduation lunch when he came over!
We had Tammy's birthday celebration at Fogo de Chao!
Tammy, me, Britt, and Meg!
Madrigal dinner! Nora got Lorin and I tickets
to see Mckinney Highschool Madrigal dinner

Girls Weekend!

This weekend Memaw Hogan and Aunt Penny stopped by for a fun girls weekend celebrating Christmas all together! They came in on Friday afternoon and we made a few goodies including crock pot candy, magic cookie bar, and buffalo chicken dip!! yummy!! Then we went to FBC Mckinney and saw the Christmas Journey! It was so much fun! Memaw and Aunt Pen had not seen it before and they both truly enjoyed it! Aunt Pen took pics of every scene and of course every animal she could see!!


On Saturday we lounged around and talked about everything under the sun! We always have a great time when we are together! On Saturday evening Memaw's brother Mike
invited us over for dinner and then to go see Prestonwoods Christmas play!
Aunt Penny, Memaw and Mom
There was this gorgeous sign on the road near Prestonwood
that said Rejoice and I just had to get a pic!

Me, Mom and Memaw ready for the play to start!
We were on the third floor and it was amazing!
We could see the flying angels, flying santa, and
hear amazing voices in the choir praise his name!!
I think my favorite song of the night was " A Baby changes everthing!"

Sleigh bells ring!
Santa Claus is coming to town!!
Santa flew in on his sleigh on this one! (so cool!)
