Wow! We had a busy Christmas this year. Lots of places to go and many family members to see! It started with Ben's parents celebration on Christmas Eve in the afternoon, then the Ford side of the family Christmas Eve night. We got home and planned to have my brother, Jeremy and Mom stay over at our house to wake up Christmas morning with us. That was fun a but late night. I didn't get to bed until around 2am! My brother, as usual, keeps us up laughing at the most stupid things. Christmas morning came and the 5 of us had a yummy breakfast and then opened gifts. Jack actually enjoyed opening gifts this year! He would get all smiley and say, "whoah!" when he got a present. It was very cute. He had the most presents under the tree this year! :). Then Christmas night we went over to the Walker side at my Grandma's house and it was a mad house over there. Around 35 people in all celebrating Christmas in one house!
Above all, I can say that God has blessed us greatly this year with keeping us healthy, sustaining us and reminding us what Christmas is really about! JESUS! We thank him and praise God for his birth!
