It's Christmas...and we're all in misery!

Ok, Christmas is always a crazy time for us. Not only do we have my family and Jason's but we also have all the great-grandparents as well. Not too many kids can say all 4 of their great grandmas are still here with them. WOW! Through all of this we still missed one this year. We just now finished Christmas on Saturday at my Grandma & Grandpa Anderson's. I am still trying to get back to normal.













We had another great Christmas. The kids were blessed this year and Santa showed up once again. He brought them a Wii and Wii games. Riley got a personalized Ohio State football jersey. Stella got her first American girl baby. That is just a few things. I won't bore you by going on. I was very impressed with them this year. With all the craziness and presents that just kept coming to them, they still understood and remembered why it is we celebrate this holiday. Stella loved telling all her family the story of how Christ the Savior was born. It makes me feel like Jason & I are succeeding as parents. I hear parents talk a lot about kids not being grateful for what they have and just wanting more. Riley showed us this year how thankful he was for what we had given him and what God had given him. Of course he is a normal almost 8 year old and is already telling me what he wants for his birthday, but he made me quite proud of him. Drake was a lot of fun. I was glad a lot of my extended family was able to meet him and get to know him. He just laughs and plays all the time. Such a great baby!!!


All in all, it was a fantastic holiday. I was able to spend some much needed time with my family. My husband was home for almost a full two weeks. Now on to a New Year!
