Jesus IS the reason for the season!
This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children; after many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year - overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, get that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, make sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot."
From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet, calm voice respond, "Don't worry. We already crucified him."
For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.

Christmas Tree Hunting
It's tradition that we go cut down our tree with Aaron's sister Christi, her husband Dustin, and our niece Camryn. We had a GREAT day for tree hunting. I wish my hubby would have felt better though. He sure was a trooper to cut our tree down and drag it up to the truck for us. Next year will be our fourth year in a row to go (like I said...it's tradition) AND Arabella will be with us. :-)
Arabella Grace McKim
As most of you know we went to the high-risk ob on Wednesday, November 26th and found out we are having a baby girl! Below are her pics!

Camryn
Here are some pics of our niece Camryn. We always have to have the camera out when we have her! The pumpkin pics are from last month (October 12th), but I forgot to put them on here.
