We were so blessed this Christmas with beautiful weather and family to share the day with. Christmas Eve we took the children to the Bee movie. Then Christmas morning my Mom came over for our traditional Christmas breakfast and to watch the children open their gifts. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching them play outside on their new outside toys. Gabriel received an electric scooter and bike, Landen a bike and a skate board and Lilly a new scooter.
Christmas afternoon we made sugar cookies with homemade frosting YUMMY!!!
Then two days ago more goodies came by mail from Brian's parents and siblings. Now each day this has been the mail that the children have awaited the mystery of what Aunt Sarah and Uncle Richey were going to send to the boys Hmmmmmmm.
Landen received all of the magnetix things that he had picked out in the store. Good job guys reading his mind. He has already put them together and they are so cool.
Gabriel LOVES lego's and Uncle Richey used to be his Lego inspiration so Gabriel was really hoping for some more lego's. Boy was he surprised when he received 3 awesome lego kits WOW! He started immediately creating and did not stop until the wee hours.
Lilly went ecstatic with her charm making kit, purse designing kit and 8,000 beads. Daddy and Lilly made charms immediately and to be honest I don't know who had more fun?
What fun memories we made this Christmas.

Hello,
I got the comment you left on my blog and just wanted to thank you so much for what you shared.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for how you ministered to the girl with the miscarraige. Miscarriage is so little talked of, and we who have lost our babies this way often feel broken and ashamed and lost as to even the proper way to grieve publicly. Many of us WANT to talk of our babies and experiences and yet it's akward with the responses we get and it's not an example that's set for us that says it's ok! You have been a minister of grace to this young lady, and you may never know fully how your listening and sharing has helped her take one more step on the road to healinig emotionally and spiritually.
So bless you, for seeing a need and being there in the midst of it. Bless you in Christ.
I would also like to thank you for any prayers on our behalf, for that kindness is not unnoticed and is appreciated! Thank you for caring and commenting, so very very much.
Denise,
The Lord is using you in such a tremendous way to minister to others near and far. May he bless you and may your prayers be answered.
