A Christmas Like No Other..

We in the Powell Family Got to Celebrate Two Birthdays This Christmas.

Christmas Eve we enjoyed talking about Jesus and what he means to us. How we wouldn't have Christmas If It Weren't For Him.

Now If we were only prepared for the phone call we got at 4:30 in the morning on Christmas Day. ThatsRight, Roberts Sister, Brandie (Aunt B) Had her baby! In just 3 1/2 hours from that phone call, We welcomed Wesley Harper Brown! A little girl, who weighed 6lbs 14 oz , 19 3/4" Long @ 7:34a.m. In Abilene. Seeing how Caleb was obviously asleep still, we waited to go until he had his Christmas at our house. When he did wake up, we told him Santa had been there and that he's also been to Abilene and Dropped off a present to his Aunt B. and Cousin Wesley was here!! He was so excited...We didnt get home until about 8:15 p.m. that night. Whew were we tired and glad to be home. But what a Huge present for Brandie and George!!

Congratulations to you guys! You have an exciting adventure ahead!! Below are several pictures of our WHOLE day! Enjoy, and I hope that your Christmas was filled with as much love, joy, happiness and blessings as ours! Merry Christmas~Love, The Powells

My Merry Christmas And the real reason for Christmas joy
In hopes that he would understand why we have presents and traditions. And, of course the REAL reason for the Christmas Season. He loved it! I hope that I can start instilling traditions in him that he will pass on to his children and family one day.

Traditions we've started for our family:


~Trimming the tree after Thanksgiving.
~Making Cookies ALL December Month Long.
~Making Homeade Decorations to put on the tree.

Have a very Merry Christmas with Lots of Love!!
