Christmas

Christmas was a wonderful day. We got some fun presents, but I really didn't care too much about the presents. Heather's friend's little sister and her family were in an accident Christmas Eve after a family Christmas party and their 18 month old baby died on Christmas. Her friend's sister and her sister's husband will both be in rehab for MANY months (12 and 6 months).

 I am grateful for my family. Every moment together matters. I am grateful that Brooke comes to visit every Christmas. I am sad when we aren't all together, especially during the holidays. But I can be happy to know that we are an eternal family.

On a lighter note, every Christmas we have crepes for breakfast (which carries into lunch and dinner)

***I must explain the funny shirt Aid has on in the last few pictures. We couldn't find his sweater anywhere (it was a wee bit chilly out), so we had to put on some Toy Story pajamas that he got from Great-Grandma Kenney (my grandma).

I can't wait for CHRISTMAS next year! Let the countdown begin :)
