Christmas and the New Year

So thankful for the blessing of Christmas and a New Year!

We celebrated Christmas Eve with Lydia's family, Christmas morning at home alone with the kids, and Christmas evening with Shane's parents. We had a great time with all our family and were so thankful to be living near them all this Christmas. (We are still unsure of what job the Lord is going to provide for us and don't know where we will be living come next Christmas so we are thankful for the time we have now to be near our families.) We also got to celebrate Lydia's Grandfather's 95th birthday with him on December 21st and to go visit Shane's Grandmother and extended family the day after Christmas.










We spent a few days at Myrtle Beach before Christmas visiting with Shane's Aunts. Wiley and Evie got to see their cousins and had a blast playing with them. We had a great visit and were so thankful to get to spend this time together with Shane's family.


I had to include these photos of Wiley telling Jed a story (a captive audience) - too cute!
We love you all and we hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! May God richly bless you all in this new year. Love, The Parkers

How blessed y'all are! I'm so proud of y'all and for how you are bring these 2 precious little ones up in a godly home. The picture of Wiley telling Jed a story is classic. You need to crop off the extra space to highlight the 2 of them, then enter it in a contest or something! I love y'all!
