Christmas

In preparation of Christmas. . .

so things have been crazy, I have consistently been wearing blake and even trinity out with so much shopping, baking, and general running-arounding. Last week trinity fell asleep on the couch (she never naps) and of course after an hour and a half I rousted her and dragged her out (in terrible weather) to the children's museum (because it is free on friday evenings and it's the holidays so lets do something special!). Of course she thanked me but not when I dragged her off the couch. We have been practicing for our Churches christmas music tomorrow and now there is a huge storm I am afraid all of church will be cancelled. I will be sooooo bummed. I am having a great time playing organ and strings on the keyboard. So in honor of Christmas and the Lord's birth I wanted to write down our many many blessings this year. (in random order)

1. Healthy Children (big 1rst birthday and dedication for blakey)

2. Healthy mommy and daddy

3. new baby niece!

4. steady work

5. new church family

6. beach vacation

7. new van (well maybe that was last year but I'm still thanking God for it)

8. home group friends

9. another year almost over with all grandparents still alive (praise God)

10. more time to read (I keep a list of what I've read)

11. lots of visits to and from spokane safely

12. highlights for the children (zoo, beach, christmas, sports class, awana)
