we had a relaxing christmas eve. we didn't make any big plans. we just stayed home and spent the entire day together. it was wonderful. the kids got along for the most part, and it was just plain nice.
my brother's brother in-law jared passed away this past weekend. you can read more about him here. he was only 30 years old and leaves behind a wife and daughter. as sad as their story seems, they are comforted by the knowledge that his spirit is alive, he is no longer suffering and they will be together as a family again. though i didn't know him, his death has made this christmas more meaningful to me. what a beautiful gift the life of jesus christ is to all of us. without him, death would be final. our families would not be eternal.
i feel blessed to have this knowledge.

So sorry to hear about Jared. What a wonderful knowledge his family holds in order to find solace and peace in this sad time.
Cute matching jammies. I wish my kids would still wear matching jammies!
those jammies were from an after christmas sale last year. hooray!
