Merry Christmas!

We have been very blessed this past year and are thankful for all that we have, especially our family! Our three boys bring so much love into our home! We are so grateful for them.

I finally started the tradition of giving pajamas on Christmas Eve. I am so glad I did! The boys loved them, even Michael, who didn't want to change out of his to go up town the next day! I even found some for myself and Shannon.
Spencer tried getting up at 4:30am Christmas morning, but I made him go back to bed. After coming in several times to see if it was time to get up yet, he finally fell back to sleep till about 6:30am. The boys were so excited, and as I lay in bed, it was fun to listen to their exclamations coming from the front room!

I also got a surprise phone call from my Parents who are on their mission in the Philippines. It was great to talk to them! I miss them, but I also know that because of their sacrifice and willingness to serve, my own little family is being blessed. I am so proud of them and all that they taught me, especially how to work. Because of my good work ethic, I have a job when others are being layed off. I am so thankful for their examples. I love you Mom & Dad!

I love you all!
