Merry Christmas!

We have had a wonderful time this month preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  We pray His love fills your hearts and home this Christmas like never before.  
Merry Christmas!!!
Love, The Moss Family!

We hope to get a real card out next year;)

We started our Christmas festivities the day after Thanksgiving at PawPaw and Granny's house.  
All the cousins in their Christmas PJ's from Granny and PawPaw

We continued our festivities and preparation when we returned home to start our Advent activities and decorate our own house.  The kids had a blast opening a "scroll" (rolled up scripture with an activity, sticker, or treat in a wrapped up toilet paper roll) and lighting the candles each night.



We found a good use for Daddy's Bronco while watching the Christmas Parade if freezing weather.  It helped to have chili, hot chocolate and hot apple cider...but Micah still had a hard time getting a smile on his frozen face;)

We joined our church family at Daddy's work to sing a few carols and hug a few of our friends that live their.

 We all enjoyed looking at lots of lights this year, again, in freezing weather.

A favorite place for us to stop on our way to see Grampa and Gramma.

 We are spending Christmas with Grampa and Gramma and having lots of fun.

We concluded our Christmas celebration with the lights of our tree and the Advent candles while reading about the birth of our Savior.



Getting ready to open their big boxes of blocks.
 We made a trip to the ice scatting rink on New Years Eve for our final adventure of 2013.
One person was excited about being on the ice, saying "go faster" and another person was trying his best to convince his coach to carry him around the ice.  We all had a great time, including the little guy observing from the window.

Happy Fall Yall!

We spent Thanksgiving at PawPaw and Granny's house this year.  Grandpa Marv was able to join us.  It involved good food, tractors, horses, four wheelers, guns and lots of great family time.






still calling it a motorcycle and very serious about driving it

Speaking of driving, IP tried his hand at driving the tractor.

Good thing Tip is pretty easy going.  IP loved him.

He was cool with the horses as long as they kept their distance from him.
Here are a few of our other Fall shenanigans
