Merry Christmas!

Thankful... We are so thankful that God loves us so very much that He sent a Savior into the world many years ago! We are grateful that we get to celebrate with our precious children and our amazing families!

It's funny to me that three of the last six Christmases we have not had the option to travel to visit family because we are about to have a child (what timing!). But, we always seem to love just staying at our own house. We always celebrate with both sides of the family somehow - sometimes our family comes to be with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day or they come before or after. It always works out perfectly!
This year we were blessed to have Matthew's parents, Aunt Judi and Aunt Mindy come and spend Christmas weekend with us. We had a wonderful time celebrating Christ's birth with family! Thank you for such a relaxing and fun Christmas celebration! This week we have my parents and my sister and her family coming to celebrate Christmas with us. We can't wait for another special celebration!
Oh, and one more reason this coming week is going to be special... On December 29th (or possibly before) we will be growing from a family of four to five. We can't wait to meet our little guy! Of course we will post lots of pictures of our newest family member once he arrives. In the meantime, we covet your prayers for a delivery free of complications and a healthy baby!

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
