Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace, good will to men! Today is the day we celebrate the birthday of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah! Rich and I spent the first Christmas Eve and Christmas morning alone since our first Christmas together. It was wonderful!!! We are heading over to Hollie's house to celebrate with the whole family this evening. Originally the family was getting together on Christmas Eve but schedules became so complicated that we changed plans. It has been a wonderful laid back, yes, even a romantic Christmas! I babysat Henry and Jack on Thursday and then Becca and I took the boys out for a late lunch (she got off early), to the library for books (we found more train books) and then over to our house for the evening since Brent was working. We had such fun. Both of the boys are very sweet and love coming over to Nana's house. Jack took his second nap of the day at our house (he has a cold) and Henry rested while watching an Elmo DVD. ...

Wow, Christmas is almost here and I haven't sent out any cards or wrapped any presents yet!! I am finally feeling better. I have had a sinus infection for over four weeks. After two prescriptions and many days of feeling awful (I only missed one day of work, though), I am getting my energy back. My allergies have been acting up as well so I am really enjoying my Christmas break from school. Here are some favorite pictures of Henry and Jack from Thanksgiving. Jack is a happy guy (most of the time) and loves to play with his brother!

"O taste and see that the Lord is God, blessed is the man who trusts in Him." God has truly been gracious to us this past year. As I meditate on how He continues to meet our needs and how he lovingly reminds us that He is all that we need, I am thankful for everything that has transpired over the year. We enjoyed a time of fellowship, thanksgiving, and lots of food at the Watsons this Thanksgiving. Hollie and I still spent most of the day together at her place making food. Hollie tried a number of new recipes (vegan style) - they were delicious. Becca made homemade bread and rolls and other goodies , Kelly made a yummy dessert, and Rich and I made turkey, dressing, and salad.
