Christmas

Christmas came early as usual. We made the boys wait til 8am before we started down to open presents. In the pictures you'll see the kids in front of our tree and the other tree is Mom and Dad's. This year we had our usual 9 trees up and in the next week I will purchase # 10. I plan on taking us into double digits next year. Christmas was great. Lots of smiles and excitement and a few tears were shed. It was Mom and Dad's fault. For Christmas they got me a Mother's pendant that was made journey pendant style with the kids birth stones in it. It's exactly what I was goint to have made in the New Year. It's beautiful as it has an aquamarine (Kayley), Diamond (Grant) and Sapphire (Jacob) in it. I wear it all the time!! Though the best gift of all was just having them home and healthy for the holidays. That evening we enjoyed a nice Prime Rib (mom's request) dinner with Uncle Burt, Krista and Paige. It ended a truly wonderful day.
