What a magical Christmas we had. My parents arrived on the 23rd. A short while after going to bed, we receibved a text message and a voicemail etting us know that my cousins Justin and Karen welcomed their new twins, Seth and Lucia into the world a bit earlier than we had expected. They are healthy and set to come home in a few days. What a blessing!
We woke up on Christmas Eve and I did an early morning photoshoot, while my mom headed out for a massage ( her bday present from us).
We put Audrey down for bed and began assembling her toys and setting up the living room for her christmas morning.
When she awoke, my parents brought her downstairs to enjoy all her new toys.
Many of her gifts were wonderful garage sale finds that we found during the summer months: a baby play station, a grocery store. Our friend Steve gave her a kitche that his kids had grown out of.
We did buy her a barbie ATV. She is still trying to get the hang of pressing the button and steering. The morning was long, but fun, filled with a fire interruption, which is no longer a surprise for any of us.
We then headed to Jim's family's house at 1 pm ( after naps) to enjoy a meal and more gift giving.
Although it was a wonderful christmas, spent with family, we were missing Harry.He spent the holiday in the hospital with numerous health issues.
It was the first Christmas that i can remember that he was not sitting in my driveway at 6 am ready to drink coffee, eat bagels and open gifts.
We are praying for his recovery.
We are thankful for this wonderful time of year and all that God has blessed us with.
