We had a full Christmas season…just like everyone and just like every year. But, how I love it. All of the prep…the details…the traditions…the memories…it’s my VERY favorite time of year.
Here’s a peek at some of ThePoeFam’s Christmas memories from the days leading up to Christmas in 2014…
full of LOTS of family TIME and more LOVE than could be measured!

Nash’s darling Christmas program at church…
![2014-12-03 001 090 2014-12-03 001 090](http://lh4.ggpht.com/-szvVvE3du88/VM_7MzwBQbI/AAAAAAAA6C8/3mezqPm9pFY/2014-12-03%252520001%252520090_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800)
Let’s just take a minute and enjoy the beauty of this performance.
A few things to look/listen for…
1. Bliss signing along
2. Nash’s mouth as he sings…what the heck?
3. When he obviously notices his baby sister and sings directly to her.
4. When “the star” gets in his way and he takes it upon himself to move.
I laugh out loud every time!

Where did you get that adorable christmas bow? The ones with the white, green and red on it? Your family is precious and I love how I can Jesus through the the way you live.
