Oldies but Goodies

Life shall we say has been a little busy lately.  This time of year does add a sense of "extra busyness" and lately I have been trying to tell myself to slow down.  I have not enjoyed just being with my boys nor have I taken the time to meditate more on what the true meaning this season brings.  I live in THE blessing because of the miracle of Jesus and the sacrifice of a God who loves me beyond measure.  I have life in abundance, to the full, till it overflows.  It's this I have been trying to remind myself of instead of the to-do lists that never seems to end.
So, in this busyness that has tried to push out the enjoyment of everyday life, I have not taken many pictures of things!  But here are some oldies but goodies of life with my boys.

I took this picture of the finished masterpiece the day we put it up.  Cameron was very into putting ALL the ornaments in the tub up(which means some that should have been donated or disposed of a long time ago!)  He did a great job placing them all in one spot--ha!  I did manage to get a few up higher ;)   I love it.

This is a nightly adventure in our house--wrestling.  Have I posted this picture before?!  The boys LOVE to wrestle.  And yes, usually someone gets hurt and there are usually some tears but not for long.  Cameron tries to get me to wrestle and he says he'll go soft on me!  Wonder where he heard that from?!

The other weekend we went to Chucky Cheese for the first time.  The boys LOVED it!  I did not get many pictures.  I was working up a sweat trying to keep with with Haiden and stopping him from sticking the coins in the wrong slots.


Second attempt on a Christmas card photo.  This session actually went better and we did get a pretty good shot.  This one came in a close second but that obviously is not Cameron's natural smile ;)
  I hope you all are able to take more than one moment to just give presence this season and enjoy the abundance of blessings all around you everyday--are you looking for them?  I am trying to!
