Fa la la la, la-la-la!

Christmas was simply wonderful. The thing I will remember most about Christmas 2010...

Tate saying "baby" all the way through the Christmas Eve service at FBC-Amarillo. I love this service each year that we are in town to attend because everyone is together. No childcare; everyone is in the sanctuary. The choir loft is filled with a beautiful manger scene (worth $$$$$$$) that was donated to the church. At first, I tried to shush Tate...but soon the Spirit tapped me on the shoulder and reminded me that the "baby" is what Christmas is all about. Let the little child celebrate...and that we did!
This is a picture of all the children (including Tate)
on the stage for a time with the P
astor. So, so sweet!

Chris, Bradley and I also enjoyed the slops in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Chris' first time to ski and he did FABULOUS!) I was taken down by a inexperienced snowboarder (OUCH!) and decided to stay and sled with the boys the next day:



The boys loved playing the "cart game" with Chris in the lodge.

We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas (after leaving a day early because of ice and snow...we stayed in Fort Worth...LOVE downtown!) for the entire Maybin family Christmas. We enjoyed family, the lodge, waterpark and ended our time with a train ride and lunch at Rain Forest Cafe!



And we had family time, great food, and a whole lot of loving on one another!

What a year! What memories we have! How we've grown! Thank you Jesus for a fabulous 2010!
