Bria Brings Holiday Cheer

Few people enjoy a good performance more than Bria. And there aren't many people I'd rather watch.

Allison's Bathtub Surprise - Rated M (for mothers only...or those who have the strength of one)

It was another night at the Gibbons home. I love being a mother but it is not for the faint at heart! :D

A James River Christmas

The church did an amzazing job with the Christmas program this year! I wish everyone in the world could have been there to experience it with us! We did have over 13,000 people come out and 73 people gave their hearts to Jesus! That is awesome and that is why we do what we do at James River Assembly! I videod some clips and wanted to share them with you. Enjoy!

Rejoicing with Renda!

Renda Higby is part of our lives in many amazing ways. She came over for dinner on Tuesday and announced to the girls that she had made them pumpkin bread and snicker doodles! They were excited (. . .well, Allison was happy and also ready to get out of her high chair.) Thanks to Renda for all the love she shows our family!

Allison says, "Ho, Ho!"

Check out Allison's impression of Santa Clause and...her tummy to match his!

Getting ready for bed is always fun at our house! This past week I grabbed the camera to show you a glimpse of the girls! Bria is especailly funny on this one!

Kelly Grace raises $100.00 for orphans!

At our Bible time after breakfast one morning this past October, we were talking about how God speaks to us. We talked about how He speaks to us through the Bible, through authorities in our lives, through nature, through love from friends and family, and He also places things in our hearts. When we got to the part about speaking to the heart, we all paused and closed our eyes and listened to see if God was telling us anything.
Kelly Grace closed her eyes for a brief moment and then said, "He just told me something! He told me to give $100.00!" I said, "Wow! Where would you give the money?" She candidly put up her finger and said, "Hold on..." and she went back to closing her eyes! Then she opened them and said, "To orphans!".
And that is exactly what she has done! We talked about how to raise the money and she went for it. She wrapped candy for her grandparents gourmet food store, she was blessed with donations, collected spare change, and (my favorite one) she asked to babysit her counsins!
As of this past Wednesday, she hit her goal and came in at $102.76! Last night she choose 3 orphan care ministries to bless. It is amazing how God uses us to change the world when we listen to Him...even if you are 5 years old!

Deep Theological Discussion

Casey talks with the girls on the way to church last night. It's too dark to see them but you can hear the deep thoughts shared in the mini van.

Classic footage!

Bennett to the Rescue!

Last Sunday night was the Joy to the World Concert. The girls had a blast! Getting all four ready for the lights, cameras, and action was no easy task. We sure were thankful for Bennett Thurman's help.
