Well I am back! Shannon gave me an early Christmas present---a new camera! I was so excited. I was lost without a camera. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Thursday was the Bryant family dinner, Friday was the Auburn/Alabama game, and Saturday was my dads 85th birthday. My brother drove down from St. Louis. Two weeks later my other brother flew in to see my dad. It has been a great month for family. Katie is so much fun now! She is so excited about anything that has to do with Christmas. She loves the decorations, lights, shows, everything. She was in her first Christmas play at school. She was a sheep. I smiled and cried all the way through. I can't believe she is big enough to be in a school program. Seem like yesterday I was holding her in my arms for the first time. We had an elf come to visit us. His name is ELFIE and he does funny things every night. Katie loves to wake up and go see what he has done the night before. Last night we went and rode on the Polar Express. It was our 3rd time to ride and it was as usual it was fun. Katie was so happy at first, then got really scared and cried, then when Santa left she was good again. We are very excited for Saturday morning. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus and all of the blessings He has given us. We will spend Christmas Eve at church and then Christmas day at home. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
