See Video Here During the Christmas season when we focus on celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I can’t help but think of the Crucifixion as well.

DIY Keepsake Ornaments
As I spoke about in a previous post, the children are given a new ornament each year. I try to buy the ornaments while on our summer vacations, but to be honest that is hard to do sometimes.

Ornaments, Tradition, & Tapestries
When Cheyenne was about 3, a wonderful lady shared about buying ornaments for her grandchildren to hang on the "cousins tree" in her house.

The Leading Lady
When I think of the Christmas story I am amazed at the strength of character in these simple people. Thinking about Mary- she was only around the age of 14 when God asked her to carry his son.
