Merry Christmas!!

I loved when my son yelled “thank you God” during the Christmas Eve service loud enough so that everyone around us heard and smiled.  Loved when he had to have the whole family sing the “Iron Man” song as we sang Christmas Carols by candle light around our tree on Christmas Eve.  Love that Morgan is so generous with everything she has and does.  Love that Schuyler is so humble and appreciative of everything that she has.  Love being able to give!  Love receiving the special treasures and homemade gifts the kids gave us!  Love that our three kids are the best things in our lives!  Love that we are blessed with so many wonderful family and friends!  Love that we had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner and that it included Noodle Kugal, brisket, green bean casserole, salad, baked brie and other yummy treats!  Loved having delicious bloody mary’s on Christmas morning.  Love hearing and singing Christmas music throughout the season!  Love all the Christmas decorations and our tree.  Love making paper snowflakes and that they are up all around the house - surrounded by the kid’s artwork.  Love to receive Christmas cards from loved ones!  Love that Graydon says “I want that for Merry Christmas”, and every time he talks about Christmas it is always “Merry Christmas”, including the “12 days of Merry Christmas”.  Love that the kids got to be surrounded by their cousins and family.  Hate that we didn’t get a family picture.  Love that next Christmas that we will have a new cousin to play with.  Love that the kids are having so much fun with everything they received and are learning to understand and appreciate that other kids don’t have as much.  Loved being lazy and playing with the toys and kids on Christmas day and night! Hate that Schuyler had the stomach bug the day after Christmas.  Love making new traditions as well as celebrating the old ones.  Love that overall we are very healthy and blessed.  Love you all!  Merry Christmas All!
