Merry Christmas!!

I love the fact that Christmas fell on a Sunday this year.  It was wonderful to spend Christmas in church celebrating the birth of Jesus.  It just puts everything back into perspective after all the hustle and bustle of life leading up to Christmas....just doesnt seem worth it in the end.  What I do know is that I could have enjoyed the time leading up to Christmas a lot more if I would have just slowed down to take in the moments. 

So thankful that most of our dear families did not spend Christmas in the hospital but got to take their precious children home for Christmas.  What a wonderful Christmas present!!

We also celebrated Ally's 13 birthday on December 22nd....how cool to have a birthday so close to Jesus's if you think about it.   So proud of Ally and the wonderful person that she has become.  I can not believe she is 13.  It is so sad to think in 5 years she will be 18 and officially an adult.  Time really does go by too fast.

From our family to yours "Merry Christmas"!!  Pics coming in the next couple of days.
