Braxton and Sutton Hartsock

 just celebrated their 7th birthday with a fun night of ice skating. 

These boys are best buddies with Naters and Beau. 

 We are so blessed to have their parents as besties too!

These twins are mighty men of God who the Bennett boys 

will be so blessed to grow up with and be world changers together!

 Landry and Whit came to join the fun!

Celebrating Jesus!! 2012

Each year as the kids get older there is something sweeter about Christmas morning.

They gain a greater understanding of the Savior's birth, the beauty of His arrival.  

We started off the morning with Beau reading the Christmas story and a wonderful time of worship.  We couldn't start Christmas day without a Holy Spirit dance party, and our kiddos KNOW how to have a dance par-TAY!

The boys opened gifts of something they really wanted, something to read and something they needed.

Through World Vision the boys picked out a goat and two chickens for a family living in a third world country.  The boys had been saving and were so excited to give!

 Opening stockings are always a favorite!

 All this boy needs is a tub of animals...

he didn't even care to open his other gift he was so thrilled!

 my little helper cracked every egg for Christmas morning breakfast. 

lots of shells, but so worth it!

 This is the picture where the boys are to show me their books.

Oh wait, Brooks is still just enamored with his new horses and still hasn't opened his.

 Breakfast time!

 We had some extra guests this year.

 They totally ate off Brooks plate.

The boys snuck away to the top bunk to have some game time!  

Love theses men of God!!

So thankful for King Jesus, so thankful for Heather and Gabi! 

 The family of God is a beautiful and wonderful thing!!!
