A Very Merry Christmas

What a wonderful holiday we have had so far! Our Christmas spent in North Carolina this year ended up being a great time filled with many fun memories. Santa even had our temporary address while we were away! It had been a while since my brother, mom and grandmother had spent Christmas together, and now that we have family's of our own it was special to have this family gathering. We enjoyed rest and relaxation, movie watching, eating, playing in the snow, reminiscing and some teasing and laughter. Wish we could have more times like these!

Our Christmas continued as soon as we got back in town. MomMom and Angela arrived in Georgia just as we did, and the surprises kept on coming. The kids were pleased with the gifts they had already received, but were even more excited by some of the gifts that were waiting for them from the rest of the family. Madison got the guitar she had been wanting, Hudson got his first bike and thinks he's Buzz Lightyear, our family got a wii, and we are all excited about the new additions to our family....we are adopting two kittens that will be coming home on Friday....we can't wait!

We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season...despite all the gifts. We are all healthy, extremely blessed, full of love and joy, surrounded by family near and far, and we have a savior who loves us! It can't get much better then this.

Take a minute to count your blessings and remember where they came from!

Merry Christmas!
