Happy Birthday Phil

Yesterday, Phil preached for the first time at "big church". He had to wear a suit and everything...which is funny for those of you who know Phil because he's not a suit-wearing kinda guy...although he looks hot (but that's beside the point)....


Anyway, he did a great job and it was a proud moment for me as his wife. There was no doubt that God spoke through him and made his message clear. We hope that God received ALL the glory yesterday.

It was his 27th birthday yesterday also. It was an interesting birthday, busy with lots of ministry, but we were able to sneak in a little lunch with friends and family.

Christmas Fun at Uni's and Papa's

Kayla, Tyler, Cameron, and Elijah (doesn't he look thrilled) :)

Every year Phil's parents (Uni and Papa to the grandkids) invite the grandkids over for a Christmas fun overnight stay where they decorate cookies, decorate the Christmas tree and take a walk down Candy Cane Lane...so we thought that Elijah would have fun and let him spend the night. He had a blast hanging out with his cousins (who are wonderful with him). I never thought leaving my child somewhere overnight would be so hard, but I have to admit that I got a little teary and missed him immediately but it was fun to spend some quality time with my husband.

Wrestling with Cameron

We also went over to his brother's house that evening and had dinner with the siblings (which hasn't happened since Phil and I have been married) and we had a great time.
