Yummy ice Cream

 Okay so yes it  is the season for girl scout cookies.  Alexis is selling them and we all get so excited about the Thin mints.  Well if any of you are like me it is hard to wait for them.  So the other day I was picking out some ice cream for the family and I found this ice cream. Girl Scouts Thin mint ice cream.  It is so good and I love it!!!!!  It is like eating a bowl of cookies.  Try it if you get a chance.  We bought ours at Target.

Off to Dana Point

Alexis was so excited to try out her new wetsuit.  So yes here in Southern California it was warm enough to go out to the beach in December.  It was such a fun day out there.  Eli played a bit and Alexis went out in the water with her daddy.  She loves to be out there.  After they caught a few waves they came in and we went over to the rocks to see what we could find.  It was a really fun family day.  Looking forward to the summer and all the fun days that we are going to have at the Beach.  Alexis says that she wants to be a pro surfer and a missionary when she gets older.  I pray that she does.  I am so proud of her and the heart that she has.  Thank you Lord for such an amazing little girl that loves you so much!!

Christmas morning at the Williams

Christmas Eve.

This Christmas  Eve. was diffrent for us.  We stayed home and enjoyed some baking and then off we went to go see the Christmas lights in a neigborhood.  It was a lot of fun.  We parked the car and walked around.  The kids were amazed at all the lights and all the work that people did to their house.  It reminded me of when I was younger we use to go look at all the lights with a cup of Hot Coco.  It was so much fun.  My favorite was the all white Nativity scene. it was so simple but yet so sweet.  It was a great night with just the four of us. Maybe we will make it a Williams Tradition.  We will see.

Random acts of Kindness.....

The other day right before Christmas my kids wanted to paint pictures for people in our Neighborhood.  Well the first person they both thought of was the gentlemen that lives next to us.  He lives a lone and is older and they were so excited to deliver these special Christmas pictures for him.  I thought is was so sweet and thoughtful!!  I pray that my kids always feel this way and always commit these random acts of kindness.  It really does brighten up other peoples day.  What will be your random act of Kindness????

My Nana is 91

 

She is an amazing prayer warrior!!!

My crazy cousins. Just some of them.  It was so much fun seeing them all.  We were missing Chris, Sissy, Erik, Ben and Allen and their families.

Right before Christmas we celebrated my grandmas 91st birthday.  It was a lot of fun to see many of my cousins and extened family members that I haven't seen in a very long time.  My Nana is an amazing women of God and a prayer warrior and I know that I am where I am today because I had a Grandmother that was praying for me.  Her and my Grandfather were Missionaries in the Jungles and in Panama through the Foursquare Gospel .  I am so thankful for her and her prayers.  It was so much fun Celebrating her.  I love you Nana and thank you for all that you have done and still do for me and my family.

A visit with Santa Clause

My kids love to go see Santa.  They have it all planned out on what they are going to say to him.  It is a Christmas  tradition in our house that they get to see him and ask for one thing.  Then he always delivers that one thing they asked for.  It is always that one gift that is not wrapped under the Christmas tree.  This year Elisha wanted the new Super Mario Bro. WII game and Alexis wanted a new wetsuit so that she can go surfing when the water is a bit colder.  They were so excited to see him and I just can't get over how big they look this year on his lap.  Every Christmas I cherish so close to me beacause before I know it they will out grow this part of Christmas and So I am holding on to every bit as much as I can.
