A Quick Christmas Memoir

Thank you to my wonderful children for letting me sleep in this morning. It was such an exciting time to see how excited Sasha was with each and everything that she was given. It is great to know that it was all appreciated (not just the boxes). Thank you to Emily and Matt, she loves her dolly, he has been napping and gone to bed with her tonight, I think she is very excited to have her own "little baby brother" (a name isn't decided on yet, that we are aware of). Grandma and Grandpa the stroller will always be in tow as well. Sorry for the track that is being etched in the floor upstairs.

This being Braden's first Christmas he wasn't too into all of the toys or clothes, his favorite thing of all was the attention and time that everyone wanted to spend with him. His ideal and favorite place to be is in someones arms. Thank you to everyone willing to give mine a little rest.

We are especially blessed to have the chance to be with our family at this Christmas Season. Thank you for all of the love that you share with each of us. It is particularly special to see how much excitement there is to see each of our kids. They are so very precious to us and it means so much to know how important they are to others as well.

I have been given the best gifts that anyone could ever ask for: a wonderful grandmother, the two most amazing parents, two great sisters, two of the sweetest children, the most caring husband, and a family that did a great job bringing him up to be who he is today, an aunt and uncle that have always been there for me, how could I ever go without including The Gospel, it has always been, and always will be counted amongst the most counted blessings in my life. I don't know where I would be without all of you. Thank you for being so wonderful to me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
