Lanza Letters: Seasonal Snapshots (LOTS of pics!)

This holiday season is off to a great start!! Throughout the past week, we enjoyed game nights with wonderful friends (complete with an intense game of Taboo, awesome food, and fabulous fellowship), as well as spending priceless time with family for Thanksgiving.We are so truly blessed!

In light of thanks, we now have a new kitchen table that is big enough to share wonderful fellowship with others. It only took us a year to find the one we wanted, but it's here! Now, all we have to say is -- Don't be a stranger! Come on over!!

Paul has also worked hard to set up our Christmas lights for this year! The Griswold's have come to town! He is carrying on his family tradition. In fact, our house was even featured on the news on Thanksgiving night. How awesome is that?!

Check out our "winter Christmas wonderland" as our sweet little neighbors call it!!

Paul definitely took care of the outside while I had fun decorating the inside. I had so much fun putting up our two trees, setting out my Christmas village, decorating the mantle, and turning our home into a very cozy, warm, festive jewel during these ~~chilly~~ COLD holiday times.

Last but not least, here is a preview of some of our pictures from this season! We had so much fun taking our Christmas couple pictures in Mooresville, AL. It is the absolute cutest little town! It was like taking a step back in time. We had such a peaceful time taking pictures and enjoying this little historical charm of a town. My mother-in-law is always so sweet to snap these pics for us, and this photo-crazy girl sure loves having all of these pics!

I believe these pictures really show the blessed love that God has so graciously allowed us to share!

(Don't worry. Our Christmas card features new pics, not shown here, as well as our Christmas poem for this year. I have to say, though, that my English mind was having major mental blocks this year, and I was slightly concerned that the poem was not going to happen. Nevertheless, nothing to fear, the poem is finished and will be on its way to you soon!) So, with that said:
