Christmas @ Faith Farm

 Christmas @ Faith Farm always consists of the official cutting of the Christmas tree with Erin, Jessie, Tristan and Gabe from the back part of the farm. A few red ribbons, tinsel, a string of  lights on a fresh cut cedar tree and a 5 gallon bucket for water puts it all together.

                                           

Erin's arrival completes our Christmas holiday with her cheerfulness, love for our family and her Hi octane energy playing with Tristan and Gabe. Starting early chopping down the Christmas tree, stacking the porch with firewood, building and painting the boys cardboard space shuttle. She is one special Auntie E to the boys as they follow her around from the time she arrives till the moment she rolls down the drive back to Jersey. This photo of her on top of the hay bale with outstretched arms makes you want to just hug her to pieces.




Gabriel almost always has a smile to brighten your day.


Tristan hugging his Mom, how precious. Thank you Lord for our children.


Merry Christmas from Faith Farm.
