Merry Christmas from the Flaggs!
It's Christmas time!!! Anthony and I both love this time of year and we are just so excited that this year we get to celebrate it with our little girl! It is her first Christmas and as you can see, family and friends have already filled our tree more than ever before and of course, most of it is for her!
Anthony has had a pretty busy traveling schedule and I have been very busy at work (as usual). This week was my first time away from Lexie overnight - I traveled to Denver for business and am so grateful for our good friend Jacarriah who took wonderful care of her while we were both away. She did great and I surprised myself with how well I did away from her, even though I missed her terribly. That said, I am happy to be back home and have her in my arms again.
Anthony got home from his most recent trip last night at 1 AM; it was so good to see him! He's convinced Lexie's hair grew noticeably while he was away :) Church was great this morning; in the spirit of Christmas we gave away bikes to kids today. It was a packed service with many giving their lives to Christ! We came home and ate a good lunch and got to spend some family time together. We also got to add some presents to the growing pile under the tree; maybe it is our imagination but Lexie seemed to be pretty interested in figuring out what was going under there!
We have a really busy week ahead; very intense schedule at work and Anthony travels again this week. Hard to believe Christmas will be the week after that. Other than preparing food, we are pretty much ready to go! Decorations are done, cards are sent, presents are wrapped! It was really fun this year to continue our yearly ornament tradition (every year we purchase a family ornament with our names on it; this year we got a snowman one with a baby snowman in the middle! It is the first year we have three names on it!) Our collection is growing and I can't wait for the day when we have a large collection of beautiful ornaments to look back on!
We want to wish everyone in our lives a wonderful Holiday season. Each of you enrich our lives in a unique way and we love you all.

Your family looks great!
We are at the stage where we cannot set out gifts until Christmas Eve then one of us has to sleep on the couch to guard against a young wanderer opening presents in the middle of the night!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks Sarah!
That's pretty funny; I'm sure we'll need to do that in a few years!
