Have you ever heard a song a million times, but you really don't know what the words actually say. (I am really bad about this) Well, this video is an amazing song that I have heard several times, even could sing along with, but never realized what I was singing until today in church. They had the words up on the screen and I was brought to tears. As I was reading the words, "How many kings would step down from their thrones, how many greats have become the least, How many fathers would give up their sons, how many gods have poured our their hearts" I was thinking noone would, not one of us.. BUT, then the words say it all. There was only one that did that, only one that would and He did it for YOU & ME.

Follow the start to a place unexpected,
Would you believe after all we’ve projected,
A child in a manger.
Lonely and small the weakest of all,
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl,
Just a child,
Is this who we’ve waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
(It’s who we’ve waited for)
Only one did that for me
All for me, all for you
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me
Do you believe this?

Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!
Well, I have to admit that the Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. I definitely have an extra pep in my step through the month of December! I love sitting on the couch by the light of the Christmas tree drinking hot chocolate, while watching Home Alone!
We have been busy since Thanksgiving getting the house all decorated and ready for the Holidays. I am extremely excited, because as of this past week, I am officially done with classes and my internship. It was a great semester, and I had an awesome experience at the Children's Hospital in Dallas, but it is nice for a break. (And to know that I only have 1 more semester left of school- 4 classes and I will be graduating!!!) In the mean time I will be back working hard for my sister-in-law (Burns & Wilcox) and hopefully finding some time for stuff I have desperately been wanting to do.(scrapbook and read for fun!ha)
On that note, check out the pictures of some of the decorations. As always don't forget to remember the reason for the season. (yes dorky I know, but so true!)
Our tree
The awesome nativity scene that my mom gave us last year for Christmas. I hope to keep getting more pieces for it every year. I love it!
Advent calendar!! I have been searching high and low for one of these. Mom found me one this year! yay. It is just too cute too!
This is Bryan's homemade advent calendar. (I don't have enough discipline to have an advent calendar made of chocolate!)
a lil Christmas in the kitchen :)
Here are some close ups of a few favorite ornaments. It is so hard to pick just one. They all mean so much too me. I could probably tell you where each and every one came from. Each one is very special. The first one just cracks me up..It is a little gnome sleeping on the moon. I fell in love with all his hair! ha. He is from Norway in Epcot @ Disney world. The second one has a little bride and groom. Our anniversary is the 29th, during our favorite season! We had a wedding shower where eat guest gave us an ornament. So sweet. And the last is a picture of a cross. Bryan's mom has started giving each of the kids these special crosses every year during Christmas. Very neat. (Have I told you I love traditions!)
How could I forget!!! We had snow Wednesday!!!!! It was pretty much amazing! Here are a few pics from the morning. (Have I told you snow is one of my favorite things ever?)
