Christmas Day 2018

Christmas with the children is still so fun! We have the best time preparing for the day and its arrival is nothing but special! We used to head out of town Christmas day when they were young, but we have slowed it down since they have been older and it has been really nice.

This year we did our usual Christmas morning with a spread for breakfast and headed out to the local homeless shelter to try to focus our attention on those people who need a little light in their day. It is such an amazing time for us as a family discuss the Lord's goodness to us and also to talk about ways we can share His love to others. It has become one of the things that make the day very special to me (and our kids).

I made Christmas lunch again this year and it actually was delicious. Clay's parents stopped by to enjoy the kids and see their "loot"  and then the rest of the day was just a chill day of love and reflection.

Here are a few pics from the morning (and if it looks like a blur, it was/is... they have an uncanny ability to rip through millions of presents in a blink of an eye)

Christmas Card 2018

Merry Christmas from the Kimseys...

(Don't want to forget that it was a freezing Sunday morning before church and I had a cold, but by golly, I was going to get this picture taken. And thanks to a great sister in law with a million talents, we got our card out one week later!)

Kimsey Christmas 2019

Christmas at the Kimseys this year was one of my favorites. We headed up to Lisa and Jimmy's on Saturday morning and started the festivities off with Jaime reminding the young (and old) ones of the greatest little gift we ever received...

After that, we headed down to the most organized display of gifts and treats that you ever did see! Lisa Kimsey knows how to do Christmas right! It is for sure a love language of hers that she has perfected and we get to benefit so greatly from it. The children (and adults) are so blessed by she and Jimmy's generosity. What a display of the Father's love!

The rest of the day we (the adults) got to enjoy each others company over mountains of food and coffee while the kids played with their new toys and enjoyed being with each other. It is impossible to walk away from such a day with anything but a grateful heart.

Here are a few pics from the day...
