Wow! What a year 2009 has been for us!
We thank God for both the blessings as well as the struggles He's given us this past year....it will always be a special year for us, such a drastic turnaround from the trials that 2008 brought us. We only have God to thank for His divine revolution. 'He made something beautiful out of all our suffering'. We look forward to the new year and discovering what He has in store for us in 2010!

Happy New Year Everyone!
I pray you will all be blessed abundantly in the coming year!

The Night Before Christmas

Sunday, December 27, 2009

We didn't have any family parties on Christmas Eve so we went to see the movie The Blind Side (which I highly recommend) with my family in the afternoon and we had our own little family party when we got home. I made a nice steak dinner and then we got to open presents.




Robb and I don't usually exchange gifts but this year we decided to to change it up and we had 3 gifts for Grayden to open, plus some stocking stuffers. I heard of another family that always gives there kids 3 gifts every year for Christmas b/c that's how many gifts baby Jesus received, so I thought that was a neat idea for our family so we always remember the real reason we give and receive gifts in the first place!!











We all got new jammies for Christmas so once we were done opening gifts we changed into them and snuggled up on the chair while Daddy read "The Night Before Christmas"
