Tuttle Christmas

We had Christmas with my family on Christmas day.

I made both sets of parents a mini wedding album from My Publisher. They both seemed to love it.

More gift opening.

Luke was with us too! Well, really with Jess.

We received such nice gifts. Thanks Dad, Mom, Lindsay & Emily. Our suitcases were VERY full flying back to NC. Thanks Flamings & Tuttle's!

Flaming Christmas

Jake & I flew to Minnesota for Christmas this year. We were there from Friday, December 19, thru Monday, December 29. It was so fun being home in Minnesota for Christmas with BOTH families.
We had Christmas with the Flamings on Wednesday (Christmas Eve day) out at Jen & Eric's.

All the kids

Dad/Grandpa first read the Christmas story in Luke 2.
Then we went through Adorenaments by Family Life.

Mom Flaming made quilts for all us kids. Thanks, Mom!

Ethan (7 months) "opening" gifts.

Luke (my cousin) & Jess (Jake's sister)
I set them up at the wedding--it's going good! :)

OUR Christmas

Last night, after church & the youth Christmas party, Jake & I had our own Christmas. It is fun starting our own traditions together. We had to have Christmas really early since we are flying to Minnesota tomorrow morning. We'll probably be traveling most holidays now.

Merry Christmas

GBC Youth Christmas Party

Last night we had our youth Christmas party.

We started off by caroling to some older ladies in the church. We then came back to the church, ate, had a challenge & then ended with a White Elephant Gift Exchange. We had a great time. I'm so thankful that Jake & I can serve together with the youth. We're enjoying it.

During the Gift Exchange

He's about to open the gift Jake brought!

Jake photo-shopped a picture of Pastor Dave onto Elvis's body. He made the photo look like an album cover.
It was HILARIOUS!
