Christmas Fun!



















We have had so much fun this year. I can't believe it is almost over. We started our Christmas break with the Bryant Christmas party. Lots of food and fun. Saturday well really early Sunday morning before Christmas we made a fun little trip to the ER with Katie because she was coughing and could not catch her breath. By the time we got there she was fine. (of course) Anyway the doctor said it was the "theraputic ride", and they see that all the time. So back home and to bed for us. That afternoon Regan, Jason, Adam, and Rachel were coming in and we were taking the kids to ride the Polar Express. While on the train Katie spiked a fever. Fun! That night we were in the car riding around with her at 1:30 trying to get the coughing to stop. It did. The next morning I took her to the doctor and she was running fever and had the CROUP! NICE. Very contagious while she had fever. We had to stay in the house for two days. I could not see adam or rachel. It made us sad. Christmas Eve was great! Mom, dad, regan, adam jason, rachel, me, shannon, and Katie all spent the night. The next morning the kids got to have their Christmas together. It was the best one I could remember in a long time. That night we went to my sister in laws and had a wonderful meal. Life just can't get better than times like that. I was very sad to see my sister and her family go. Katie kept asking for them and it was hard to explain that they had to go home. Today I got to spend time with some friends I had not seen in awhile.
Katie is talking so much. She cracks me up on a daily basis. I can't believe God blessed me with such a sweet little girl. Sometimes it hits me that she is really mine! She will be two in about a week and a half. I don't know where the time has gone but I am cherishing each and every moment.

Thanksgiving






Katie is growing and changing so much everyday. She is talking up a storm. I can't believe what all she can say. She is even starting to sing songs! Thanksgiving day was different this year. This was the first year without my sister in law Nita. We still had it at her house but it was very hard. We had a couple of breakdowns at times but all in all it was still a good day. We tried to get some cute pictures but as you will see...kiddos were not cooperating. Christmas is now only days away and I can't wait. I love this season and even now it is so much fun with Katie. I am so thankful for everything the Lord has blessed me with. I have a great family, friends, job, and everything I need. I feel so blessed.
