Ho Ho Ho and stuff

Merry Christmas!

And Merry Christmas Eve! Literally my favorite day of the year. Archer Christmas Eve's are THE BEST with these people

We miss Liz a lot this year, those people in Williamsburg, VA are lucky to have her. But we are excited to have the Millers join the extravaganza...Thanksgiving AND Christmas together?! perfection.

We are preparing ourselves for
shrimp
smoked oysters (ew...have to eat one every year. tradition, tradition)

sausage and cheese and crackers

rolls
flank steak
baked potatoes
salad
fruit salad
peppermint marshmallow brownies
playing Don't Eat Pete

wearing mom sweaters and Christmas pins

singing The Twelve Days of Christmas

hearing the Father's bear their testimonies

singing Christmas songs around the piano
driving around the neighborhood to see the luminarias
singing Happy Birthday to Jesus

sleeping in the basement with the sibs

but most importantly, celebrating the birth and life of our Savior
I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and His life and example. He truly is the Savior of the World, our Redeemer, our Advocate with the Father. I love Him and I know He lives.

have a very merry christmas
