Well it is finally here..Christmas morning. And the year we have been waiting for has arrived...Doug and I are up before the girls. It is now 8:57 and we have been up for an hour waiting to open presents. It is actually quite nice. I have had my tea, Doug has helped me with my blogging skills and is now reading. Oooops, I spoke too soon...here they come. It is now time for The Story and gifts. I will continue in a bit.
It is now 9:45 and the living room is bare and quiet. Ashley is up in her room playing her keyboard with the new pedal and microphone she got...and Kaylee is upstairs working on the new ipod inset for her new running shoes. Doug is looking at his new Sirrius radio. And I am about to hook up my new ipod and download songs and movies. Oh yes, and Kramer is busy chewing on his new rawhide bone. All in all it has been a great Christmas.
We are so blessed..and not by what just took place here. We are blessed by the birth of our Savior, by the love of our friends and family, by good health and the means to provide for our families. We love you all. Have a great Christmas Day!!!

This is boring
ok family.....i am getting very bored reading the same thing day after day. (my hubby is the worst offender!)
I guess I can understand if you have been as busy as we have. The first week of Dec. is always the Supt. conference and it is always in a very nice warm place..which is just what I need about that time of year. This year was San Diego and it was amazing....70"s all week and not a cloud in the sky. However it does seem to put me back alittle on my Christmas shopping and such. This year I had a pretty good start to the shopping but didnt manage to put up the tree or any decoration before we left. We did have our outside lights up because we paid a company to come and put them up for us and they will come and take them down in Jan. I am thinking this company must have been suggested by a pastor...what do you think???
Anyway on the way home Thursday evening on the plane I was sitting there thinking about getting back to reality and all I had to do to get ready for Christmas. It was at this point that my dear husband told me about the party we had on the following Sunday evening. I chalk that one up in my mental calendar and continue on with my thoughts when he leans over and tells me not to forget the other parties that week too. I come to find out that we had parties on Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday ...(only the Friday one was at our house for which I am most thankful)
Well I am pleased to tell you we got through that week and are looking forward to a little less partying this week and a little more home time. Things are running pretty much on schedule but there will be no Christmas cards this year....something had to give
love you all
