Christmas Continued...

One of the BEST Christmas gifts we got was a visit from Uncle Daniel and Aunt Mandy. Due to the snow and icy weather their trip got delayed but they only missed a couple days here. We got to spend Friday and Saturday with them & it was so good to see them and catch up. Brianna and Brice wanted to be with them as much as they could. We celebrated Christmas with my immediate family on the day after Christmas and once again, had a wonderful time. My Dad BBQ'd steak and shrimp on our deck and had lots of yummy stuff to go with it. There were many more gifts and everyone was greatful. Best of all we got to spend time together.






I am reminded that we are so lucky to have so many people to celebrate with. We love every moment we get to spend with family and missed the family we didn't get to celebrate with. I am thankful for many things, my children are thankful for many things. Material things aside, we would not be happy, would not lead the joyful lives we lead without everyone who surrounds us. I am blessed to be right where I am today!
