Merry Christmas....

We hope you had a great holiday. Ours was a little different this year than in previous years.

It was the first time since 1987 (yes 20 years) that I got to spend the actual Christmas day with my dad. I have spent time with him around the holidays, but this is the first one in 20 years where it actually was the day, and it was the best Christmas he has ever had. He got to see Emma and grace open there Santa presents, go to their Christmas program, go to my family Christmas with my mom and Randy and it was almost to much for him to handle. He cleaned my house and salon for me on Christmas eve, and got to feel the spirit of church 3 days in a row.

Emma and Grace were in their 1st Christmas program at church on Christmas eve so it was the first Christmas I have missed in 14 years with Randys side of the family. They had to memorize 2 songs and 1 scripture, and...yes they did it. We practiced every night at bedtime for about a month. It was hard to see my little girls up there, but amazing at the same time. They were a little bouncy (but all kids were) but they said all their parts. Thye looked so big and grown up, Cory and I just looked at eachother and smiled when it was all done. Our families were there to see it all, so was the video..... HAHA!

Cory and I are thankful for everything we have in life.... a strong faith with our Lord, a loving family, a beautiful home, 2 beautiful children, great jobs and a wonderful relationship. Thank you God for all you provide, the least we can do is worship you on YOUR day.
