Merry Christmas!!!

Celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior and praising Him for the many blessings He has provided this year.  We hope and pray that the Peace Christ brings is with you and your's this Christmas.

Love, The Moss Family

Two of us are missing in the Christmas picture this year.  Just picture two crazy people behind the camera doing their best to get 4 kids to smile at the same time.  IP is just looking at us thinking, "they've lost it."

We kicked off the season with the local holiday parade with friends in the cold.
Thanksgiving!

Early Craziness Christmas with the Cousins!

Here are a few pics of a very cute Angel Gabriel and Mary in their Christmas program.


We sang carols and visited with some of Daddy's friends from work.

Granny and PawPaw came bearing gifts:)



It's a helmet! It's a helmet! I gotta helmet! A brown helmet!!!!

We built our 1st gingerbread house.


We packed a lot into Daddy's afternoon off.

We spent Christmas Eve with friends at our church program.  Daddy, McB and SLiM participated in the program but we have no photos to show from it b/c Mommy was juggling a busy IP and HR and attempting to video.  We loved the program though.

The birthday buddies did their monthly shoot just before the program.  All decked out in their matching 1st Christmas suits.




Big bro snuck in for a Christmas kiss.
We finished up our advent celebration at home before opening gifts.










We headed out around 4am Christmas morning to Gramma and Grampa's house.
Gramma played scrabble with the stockings this year.

Grampa read the Christmas story and then we all opened gifts together.





We spent the afternoon playing in the beautiful warm weather.  Here are a few pics of SLiM learning to ride her new bike.














We had s'mores the next night and then headed in to have a book party with 7 kids in a closet while the tornado sirens were going off as the winter storm moved in and pushed out our nice warm weather. 

We went on an adventure to see an ice sculpture exhibit.







The winter storm won and we found snow to play in on our drive home.
McB built a mini snowman and the kids had a quick snowball fight.  IP started it by pelting Daddy in the head with a snowball.  He thought he was big stuff until he realized how cold snow is without gloves on.
