Kenzie's New Do!

Okay, so I bit the bullet today and got Kenzie's hair chopped off! We had gone to the cheap place for Jon and Sydney, but when we got there, I thought, what the heck! Kenzie hates to have her hair brushed anyway, so why not get something cute and easy. She sat in the chair with an angry face the whole time, but afterwards she loved it (and so did mommy and daddy). It was really hard to watch her beautiful curls fall to the ground, and even harder to see how much older the cut makes her look. We were like, where is our baby?

We had an enjoyable morning going to our neighbors' house for waffles this morning. Our neighbors on the left invited us and another family over for breakfast and we had such a wonderful time. We feel so blessed that God has put us in an area where we can get to know and witness to our neighbors. I even got to go out last Sunday night with the ladies for a girls' night out and I felt like everone was welcoming and open to deeper relationship. We pray for our neighbors often and wait for an opportunity to share with them about Christ. We feel like God is opening many doors for us!

This year Christmas seems extra special with the girls starting to really understand the story of the birth of Christ. It's amazing to see the season through their wonderment and joy. Sydney told us the other day that Mary and Joseph were coming to Caledonia to have baby Jesus! That opened the door for us to talk about Jesus being with us everywhere, but it got a little too theological for their simple understanding. Their simple faith is a joy for us to see and also a good reminder of the faith that God calls us to. We pray for simple faith for you all this Christmas!
