Christmas Eve Thoughts
After a long day of hanging around the house with our family and friends I have once again been reminded of how blessed we are. The house has been full beautiful Christmas spirit. The joyous company of our friends Tracy and Briana visitng from Colorado, and Bryan and Amberli home from college. The smell of baking cookies for Santa, the sound of laughter as we play our traditional board games, the sight of two georgous girls giggling on the couch. What greater gift could I ask for? I have been pondering the meaning of Christmas and I know that family is at the heart of my peace and happiness. I encourage you all to stand back and look at the blessings right in front of you. Forgive those you can, love those you choose to be with, and remember to give thanks for all the wonderful things, big and small, that bring you joy. Merry Christmas Eve!

I'm Sad that we are so far away around this time of year. Maybe one year we will come and spend with you. Sounds like you are having a great time without us.
