Christmas Blessings

This past year started off so well..things were looking so good for us. Around August the economy started taking a nose dive and we sure did feel it! I guess people don't buy furniture when they are worried about money. So, after our trip to Utah (thanks Dad) I got a job and things got worse with Aaron's job and it just wasn't looking good for Christmas...I was so worried. I worry too much! Thanks to our Secret Santa, my sister, my Dad, Aaron's family and my mom we had a lovely Christmas. We are feeling so much love.... thank you thank you thank you!

I worked on Christmas and the kids had to wait until I got off to open gifts. Aaron brought them to my work for breakfast and then again for lunch. It was such a nice day and I didn't mind working at all....well maybe just a little bit....but it ended up just fine and the kids were so patient and had the best manners the whole day. I think we only had one fight and that is a Christmas miracle!
