Christmas at the Killingsworths

  
 

Christmas has always been so wonderful in our home growing up. We were fortunate to be able to have a big tree with lots of ornaments, awesome christmas outfits as shown in the glorious pictorials above, decorate the exterior of our home in lights (never colored lights, dad wouldn't allow it with his design background), going to Prestonwood's Christmas show, making delicious cookies in our warm and cozy kitchen, while listening to KLTY and singing along. Most years (until the past couple) our family would go on a vacation with the Garys; skiing in colorado or swimming in hawaii. we always have the best time with the Garys, they are our family too. Christmas has always been a season of Christ and joy in the Killingsworth home; mom and dad always reminding us of the "reason for the season". We have been so blessed and I am so thankful for my families good memories together. 

the last picture is from 2 christmas' ago; i love this picture. this christmas will be very different, but so much good to look forward to and believe in. We will do our best to celebrate Christmas the same as always; remembering Christ and his perfect birth and life, making Christmas cookies, and singing carols.

I can remember mom singing Hark, the Herald Angels Sing around the house...I love that song.

Hark! the Herald Angels sing,

Glory to the newborn King!

Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace,

Hail the Son of Righteousness.

Light and life to all He brings

Risen with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by

Born that man no more may die

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King!
