McCoy Christmas In Pictures

Family
Mom has had this old Santa for as long as I can remember. Sure like this guy.

The boys playing 42. Lucy is learning how to play.
Mr. Santa saying...good grief, look at all of the food!
Mom's tree
Only one of the wrestling matches that took place over 4 days.
The annual cousins-pile on the bed on Christmas morning picture. We need a bigger bed.
Brothers and sister
Yes, this is funny
Ky. So cute

We took turns opening presents so we could see what everyone was given. Fun.
This child cracks me up

Lucy
New pajamas!



Interesting. Only Wes
Dad is up and doing pretty good after his tractor accident. We were all pretty emotional and thankful that he is still here with us. He wrote a great letter to all of the grand kids about his faith and his love for them.

Christmas Breakfast
Family picture minus Colt and Rachel.
Joseph and Granjan. So good to see him and MaryNell and Uncle Gerald
Standing in front of the fire is a full time job. Love it.
So, after this fun trip we came home and hosted Sid's side of the family here at our house. I will post pics of that great time tomorrow. For now, I would love to leave you with this message:


Psalm 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
