Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
~ Luke 2:13-14
Blessings from our family to yours,
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2013!
Erica, Jason, Strawberry Shortcake, Turbo, Tinker Bell and the Teeny Tot!
While we’re off spending time with family and friends, I wanted to leave you with a little holiday cheer that can be found over here at the Confessions home…courtesy HP Pin the Halls!
As part of the HP Pin the Halls program, I was super excited to receive the EVNY 20 TouchSmart AiO to review, and it was just in time to help me make that super cute video for you! I was also dying to try out the new Windows 8 platform, and true to rumors, it’s super cool! Just like my tablet, it’s a touch screen, which makes it all the easier to use. It is also great for running apps, and you can even remotely play music, videos etc. from your smartphone or tablet! Here is the beautiful screen! So nice and clean, I almost hate to touch it, but its so fun, can’t resist!
Of course my kids were already familiar with the touchscreen, so this was an easy transition for them! Not so much for me as I’m typically telling them to keep their fingers OFF my monitor!
And one of my other favorite things…notice anything missing from this picture? Um…can you say NO CORDS? Ack! Cords are the bane of my existence and this sweet computer is all wireless! Wireless keyboard…wireless mouse…wireless…as in NO wires! Yipee!!

In my last post, I mentioned the HP ENVY 120 e-All-in-One Printer – Which just so happens to be the perfect companion to the ENVY 20 All-in-One PC …
The new HP ENVY120 e-All-in-One printer is a stylish, sleek Web-connected printer perfect to fit in any room in the house. Designed with the living room in mind this all-in-one features an incredibly slim and compact design as well as whisper-quiet operation and a large, adjustable touchscreen that retracts after printing to maintain its streamlined appearance when not in use.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
My Favorite tradition has to be when we all go over to Granma’s house in the morning to have breakfast and open gifts. She can’t seem to want to grow up yet.
So many favorite Christmas traditions ~ but I love all the family getting together and reading the story of Jesus’ birth in the book of Luke on Christmas Eve. Also, singing Christmas carols, driving around and looking at Christmas lights, watching Christmas movies — love Christmas time!! 🙂
We love reading our favorite Christmas books!
One of my favorite traditions is an annual shopping trip that my sisters, mom, and I take. The shopping is fun, but it’s more about just spending a day out together (no kiddos!) and enjoying each others company.
I love looking at the holiday lights with my family.
One of our favorite traditions is baking night with grandma! She comes over and we bake lots of cakes, cookies and holiday goodies. Then we package them up and share them with family, neighbors and even our postman.
Caroling in the neighborhood 🙂
I love spending Christmas Eve with our entire family and Christmas Day with just my husband, children and myself celebrating.
Spending Christmas Eve at home with my family around the tree with teh anticipation of the morning lingering in the air.
When we get together with my family we have all (soon to be 9) grandkids (all ages 6 and under) dress up and perform the nativity. All the kids love acting out the True meaning of Christmas and it is also just plain adorable!!
