A Merry Christmas Indeed!

Our Christmas was beyond belief. The kids were so excited and said, "this is my best Christmas ever".....those are the words that a mom and dad want to hear. Aside from it being about Jesus's birthday.....seeing the smiling faces of the kids, melted my heart. It reminds me why I wanted kids. Sometimes I feel sad that I brought 2 kids into this cruel world. Christmas morning reminds me why I must try to raise them with love and kindness, teach them between right and wrong, and rear them for adulthood, when they must enter this world without me holding their hand. I thank Jesus for being born and for my family. Most of all Christmas reminds me to LOVE people.

Here are a few pictures of Christmas.....My son throwing darts on his dartboard.
My daughter staring at money like she's never had a dollar. LOL

This is the most precious picture to me......in Sept my father in law died.....we saw him everyday....yet, when he died, I couldn't find any pictures of him and the kids together. I promised myself that this wouldn't happen again. Here are my kids with their Great Grandmother Christmas Day 2008. I took several.....I hope that they never forget this lady....she is amazing, strong, and a tad stubborn. I guess those are the traits that you need to live to the age of 89. She is like a mother to me. I talk to her daily and take her where ever her heart desires. She's outlived her husband and kids. We are the only family she has left. My kids love her so much.

I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas.....may you have many more and grow fond memories with each passing year.
