The holidays

Once again the hollidays are upon us. We enjoyed our visit this Thanksgiving with my family. This was the first Thanksgiving we have had in 4 yrs with all of the kids together. Mama enjoyed it completely, she said she had been praying that all the kids could get together. It was really worth it to see mama happy, but we really enjoyed it too. This Christmas we will be celebrating Christmas at home. This will be the first time that I have cooked Christmas dinner, and the first year in our new home. The kids are excited and they have already put in their ideas for the menu. They will be decorating the tree today. I had to go and get some more lights, they have been after me to do that. I went and got what we needed today, so after they do their chores, they can finish the tree. It has been killing Brandon, all he has done is to continue asking me when am I going to get the lights for the tree. I had to do something or he would have done the same to today. So I went to get the lights today. The kids have been a great help in participating in helping me get ready for Christmas this year. I do think this will be a great thing, and I believe everyone will have a great Christmas. I hope everyone enjoyed the Christmas cards and pictue I sent. The boys have really grown and I think everyone would like to see them. I talked to Don today, he had gotten the card and really enjoyed the picture. It was really nice to hear from him. I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and a great New Year.
