Christmas

This Christmas was great, but of course every year is. We had a nice quiet Christmas at home. Honestly, that's the way I like it. The kids of course stayed up until almost 1:00 am. (checking every few minutes to see if Santa came) Then Jordan was back up at 4:30 am. We had a secret Santa this year and the kids have really enjoyed those gifts. We had a goal to be mostly out of debt by the end of this year, so we were going to have a small Christmas. It was kind of fun to see a few extra presents popping up under and in our tree. I don't know who all the secret Santas were, but we all enjoyed the gifts. Our month started off with our Christmas calender in the Friend. Every night there was a question and a scripture to read. It really helped bring Christ into our Christmas. The kids were really upset when that ended. We have played a lot of games and just spent time as a family. It really has been great.

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We have been very busy this year and expect it to continue into next year. We are very optimistic about next year and are looking forward to the changes it will bring. I hope that we all can remember the true meaning of Christmas, and realize all of the blessings that have been experienced throughout the year.
