Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! On Christmas Eve we had some friends over and then went to church. On Christmas day our family had a nice Christmas at home. 

The Lafleur 5 all ready to go to church.  

On Christmas morning, our girls picked out some gifts from our gift guide. Ella picked something for our friends who are going to Asia as missionaries, and Juliette picked something for our friends who are local missionaries working with the youth of Langley.

They were excited to pick out their gifts for Jesus.

The girls received a few new books from Momma and Dadda. 

We decorated for Jesus' birthday. Ella announced that she would like chocolate cake, and Jesus would like vanilla! She also asked if Jesus' mom and dad were going to be coming to the birthday party. Another great question she had: "is the big Jesus, or the baby Jesus going to be coming to our party?"

At one point in our Christmas dinner, Juliette said, "hey, why is Jesus not here yet?"

Ella made her own birthday cake for Jesus.

Entertaining Karis

Ella and Juju love to make Karis smile.

Christmas Fun!

Leading up to Christmas we had several visits with close friends.

The Reeds came over for dinner and a kids pajama party. 

Karis and Hailey even wore matching sleepers! Since our family has no candidates for Hailey to marry, we figure she should grow up to be great friends with our girls :)

 On Sunday we enjoyed a French toast brunch at Roger and Helen's. Delicious food and great company!

Here's Karis getting all geared up for her first Christmas. Juliette was pretty disappointed that she didn't have a reindeer outfit to match Karis. 

We also visited with our dear friends Sean and Moo. 

Ms. Moo sewed the girls their own aprons! They are adorable and the girls love them. 

The aprons stayed on until bedtime.

Karis is 6 months old!

Our sweet Karis is 6 months old today. She is happy, healthy, and sleeping well. We are so blessed to have her in our family.

Let it Snow!

On Wednesday morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. We headed out to Superstore to buy a sled. The snow is all gone now, but the girls are hoping for some more soon (and so are we)!

Life Group Christmas Party

Last week we had a potluck Christmas party with our life group. It was fun to bring the kids and have a social event. 

Karis and her friend Eli. They are born only 3 days apart and have all the same moves, they looked like they were in a yoga class.

Juju and Moriah.

All the kids eating at the "kiddie table". Ben, Jacob, Moriah, Ella and Juju. The next day Ella said "I love coming to Bible study".
