Merry Christmas!

Our Sunday School class got together on Saturday night for our Christmas Party. Here is a photo of everyone there including the kids (and Elvis)! What an awesome group! We praise the Lord that there were so many of us attending we had to move our party to the church fellowship hall! Here is a photo without the kids. It has been a real joy and privilage for us to worship the Lord with this group of believers. We love each and every one of them!

Here are some pictures after Hudson's Christmas play last night.

Update

The lighting of downtown Wake Forest...
Here are some fun photos of us as we went downtown for the lighting of Wake Forest.
Hudson loves trains and they have one set up in the hardware store. We took a break from the cold to watch the train, and visit with our friend Justin Martin who works at the Hardware store. Don't they make cute presents!
Here is Naomi all bundled up!

Sleepless Nights!
The last few nights have been a challenge! I had forgotten what it's like to be up in the middle of the night. We've had a teething baby and a potty training preschooler on our hands.

Our little walker...
We'll I can officially say that Naomi is walking. She is still a little unsteady on her feet, but she can get around. Hudson is so thrilled when she walks to him. She absolutely adores her big brother.

Home for Christmas...
We are planning on making the journey home for Christmas either through the night on the 22nd or during the day on the 23rd. We plan on staying thru the 26th. The kids will be staying a bit longer! We hope that we will be able to visit with some of our friends while we are there. If we miss you, then we hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Hudson's big debut ...
Hudson will be in this year's Christmas play at church. We will take lots of pictures and post them next week.

Alisia's new job...
We'll almost. I've decided to try and sell my talents as an artist. I've set up a blog, and I'm still working on it you can view it at http://www.ajbenavides.blogspot.com/ and I've gotten business cards. We put the rest in God's hands. I'm hoping to help our family make ends meet during this last semester at seminary. I will be painting at our Chiropractor's office (in return for services) over the break. I'm hoping that will generate some business.

Dessert Poll!

Thanks for voting!

It seems that the majority of you believe pecan pie is the most fattening, however carrot cake tops them all! Then pecan pie, apple pie, and the least fattening dessert is pumpkin. I hope everyone is enjoying their week!
