It's Christmas Time!!!!

Well, as you can see I haven't written since Thanksgiving because...well...December is the craziest month for The Pike Family!!! From Cantata practices, weekend sings, Christmas shopping (and yes we were the crazy ones out at 5am the day after Thanksgiving), work, Christmas parties, wrapping presents, decorating
picking out trees,

decorating trees,

and holiday baking, to Christmas Cantata's

(with special guest Babbie Mason!),

celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior & spending time with the ones we love!! Even though we were beyond busy we enjoyed being together as a family!!
Jonathan has continued to grow leaps and bounds! He is 15 months old now and has a vocabulary of about a 2 year old!! We were putting up decorations one day and I was casually telling him about Santa (to what a 15 month old can understand)...well about an hour later when I was changing him he pointed to a Santa in his room and said "tanta"!! And so, of course, we had to go get our picture taken with "tanta"!

Every year our church has a candle light service at 11:00 pm Christmas Eve that our family attends as a tradition! And every year our pastor baptizes on Christmas morning (12:00am) which is awesome!! This year he had the opportunity to baptize over 50 people!! What a testimony and memory to be able to be baptized on Christmas morning!! That is something you will never forget! =) We also take the opportunity to get a family picture around our church's huge tree on Christmas morning (12:00am)!!!

Merry Christmas from "The Pike Family"
