Well, we got through another one! This Christmas was full of mixed emotions for our family. With the loss of Smiley and the entrance of Brody, alot of mixed tears have been shed. We can't seem to stop thinking about Mike and are totally enthralled with our new arrival. What a roller coaster! All that said, we have been jam-packed with acitivity. We went to Sheena and Pat's last night for Chili and presents. Everyone made out like bandits! We then returned home to prepare for Santa's arrival. Laynee was up at 4am to announce that Santa had been here. We then "encouraged" her to go back to bed:) A few shourt hours later, we all woke up to a cold and rainy morning. The kids got a new trampoline in hopes of tons of jumping fun. Laynee is our little cowgirl and got a new Furreal Pony named Butterscotch. Maycee was happy to get a new sewing machine so she can craft with mom. She also got a new stereo so she can dance with her friends. Clay got a Green Machine and was quick to be doing brodies in the street. Between the Underarmour and the Football garb, hes totally "covered". T got the long-awaited Ipod Touch and we havent seen him since:) Natalee and I got a few things we wanted and are happy to see all of our kids show their appreciation for this Christmas. After we got done opening presents, we gathered around the picture of Christ and discussed why we give gifts. We all understand that we have received the greatest gift of all in our Savior. How grateful we are to have the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. We are so happy to be a family. May this season remind all of us why we celebrate Christmas. May you all be as blessed as we are to have you in our lives. We are fortunate to have you in our lives! Thanks for all you do for us and the joy you bring into our lives!
