May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Christmas Celebrations

This year was a year of fun, excitement and wonder. Emily truly made Christmas this year the most fun it has ever been and the true meaning of Christmas was more apparent to me than ever before. We truly are a family blessed by God beyond measure. We did have our moments of sadness when we missed having Ryan and Grandpa Tom here to share the Christmas season. We were most comforted with the knowledge that they were celebrating Jesus' birthday with him in heaven instead of here on earth and were both happy and healthy. Aside from the gifts and all the hoopla the the blessings of family and true friends were by far the best part of this season. Here are a few pictures of the two celebrations, and "mother of the year" here did not take any pictures of Emily opening her gifts Christmas morning. Gary did get it all on video and when I figure out how to upload that I will post it. The pictures I did get of Emily on Christmas morning were of her playing with Molly-dogs toys she got for Christmas :). Enjoy the pictures!
