Good morning! This photo dump is brought to you by a SNOW DAY! Woohoo! We actually have no snow, but a light sheet of ice which renders south Texas totally incapacitated. As we aren't about to look a gift horse in the mouth, some catching up blogging is finally happening.
Jon's first ever sermon! He preached on Hope, the first Sunday of Advent.
Jon also emceed the TFS annual meeting and planned for outfit changes for a laugh and one of his employees made this meme:

Eli, Alexa, and Emerson came as well, and it was so fun playing with our baby girl.

Presents!
