~JOY to the WORLD~


(Josiah.....was really focusing on opening this present!! Love it!! *had to share*)
My Christmas day was a quiet one...For the first time...it was just us:me, ry and the kids...My parents were not able to make it. It has been a family tradition to wake the kids...read the Christmas story found in Luke...then wait for my parents to show up...then share our Christmas with them...but his year...as you may know...my dad is not doing well. He only leaves the house to go to dialysis...and that is about it...It is hard to think about this being his last Christmas with us...I was blessed...however....about 5 that night...to get a phone call that said my dad and mom were on their way!! Yay!!! So we had a nice dinner together and showed grandpa all the fun stuff we got for Christmas.. :) I hope you all had a blessed Christmas with the ones that mean the most to you!!
Luke 2:10 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."

Shelley and Family,
This was a very wonderful Christmas...we still had our family party on Christmas Eve...we had fun and each other to still love and enjoy...but not being there with the kids on Christmas morning was especially hard for me. I love you all so much and knew how hard that it would be without your father and me...my greatest wish for Christmas is to have all of my family be the happiest ever. Things will change with our family soon...enjoy while we can and may God bless each and everyone of us with peace in our hearts.

Love

Mom
