On the twelfth day of Christmas........................

My True Love Gave to me...................Twelve Drummers Drumming, Eleven Pipers Piping, Ten Lords a Leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight Maids a Milking, Seven Swans a Swimming, Six Geese a Laying, Five Golden Rings, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!



12 Drummers Drumming... I think if the pictures were bigger you could

see that they are actually drumming~ Maybe not! LOL

12 drummers stand for the

12 points of the Apostles Creed

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

12. And the life everlasting. Amen.

Well Phew~ That is DONE, I am not going to lie~ Not 12 of my most favorite blogs, I had fun on the first few but then it lost its fun. I tried to "let it go" but the kids were pestering me for what the new night was and I am a sucker for not disappointing them.

I don't see that becoming a new tradition, maybe trying something completely different for the 12 days of Christmas. Like 12 days of service projects. Or something like that... I am open to ideas!

Our day was laid back and busy at the same time, we did school in the AM, Piano Lessons in the afternoon, Caden had a serve teem worship meeting at Church while I had a meeting for my new upcoming Bible study at McChord at the same time. I was late for my meeting~ But hey, Caden was on time for hers! ;) Sometimes it would be so amazing if we lived near family. I would love to call up my mom or sister and say hey can you help me out. Challenges of our military life. My new bible study is on contentment. Maybe after it I wont let thoughts like that in my head! ;) *right*

Hes getting good.... well at least in my mommy opinion! ;)

 I got to talk to Jared tonight, hes doing good! He has a desk job and has been enjoying that. Its the first time hes been more of an office person. Usually he flies quite a bit more. I think he enjoys the responsibility and the new challenges that it brings. We are very thankful that he has wifi in his room this deployment, last time he didn't and it made communication so very difficult. This morning at like 5 am his time he walked us down his hall way and out the door to show us that it was snowing where he is. The technology is so extremely amazing right now. The kids really got a kick out of that. They laughed and chatted about how cool it was.
