Merry Christmas!!

We were very prepared this year for Santa to stop by and have a quick break, along w/ the reindeer and their snack too-hence the carrots and Oatmeal bowl :-) Christmas morning is always an adventure, and this year was no exception. Hopefully it was an amazing day for many, and bless those who we know, now count on memories of year's past to celebrate happy moments, and cherish those who have perished in recent weeks.  Let them know God's presence is always there.

Happy Birthday Emily

How about a 4yr. old birthday celebration w/ Chuck E Cheese and friends! Luckily, there weren't many people or other birthdays going on then, so we had a pretty good time w/out the "big crowd".  Emily said her favorite present she got for her birthday was her Unicorn Stompies, showcased in the picture above holding her new bedspread for her "big girl" bed she will have very soon.  Until then, she will be tucked into her "3 yr. old bed", which will be bitter-sweet for me.....I wish I didn't have to make such a big transition, but such as life-it keeps going no matter how deep you drag your heels!
