~ Christmas Eve with friends

We had a very quiet, peaceful Christmas Eve. Two of our favorite families came over.



Matt and Jonathan deep in discussion and thought...

Sleep-deprived Spencer, and tired Lauren...

Sorry for the weird lighting... Jen and Rachel, and Kathy and her girls...




(love this photo of Kathy and her two older girls.)

beautiful...

The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude;
we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith.
We have enough of greed;
we need more goodness.
We have enough of vanity;
we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity;
we need more purity.
