Boys, what a wonderful Christmas!! For the first time since something like the 1870's, we had measurable snowfall in North GA this Christmas. Got to put up a picture, because it's very likely that you boys will never see another one. But that was just only part of the fun!! We had a great Christmas!! We did all of our traditional stuff...each of you boys got a new ornament for the tree with your name and the year on it....these are some of your mommy's most treasured things...of course we had Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Dino, and Hoppy on our tree as well....some of MY favorite things!! We made a plate of cookies and milk for Santa, and as always, we went out in the backyard and put out some carrots and potatoes for the reindeer. We woke up early on Christmas morning and came downstairs as a family to see what Santa had brought, and boy, he did not disappoint us this year!! I hope that you boys realize how very fortunate that you are to be able to have the things that we do....but above all the things....I hope that you realize how fortunate that we are to be able to spend each and every day together as a family. I know that as you grow up, you will hear stories of families that break up, and you will even have friends that have split families, but just know that mommy and daddy work as hard as we possibly can to make our family "work"...and I pray that is a gift that we can "give" you boys every Christmas for the rest of our lives.
After we saw what Santa brought us, we had breakfast and then got ready and went over to Grammy and Grampy's house to have Christmas with all of your cousins. While we were there it started snowing!! It was so pretty to watch the snow fall on Chrismas! Then we came home and had dinner with Yaya and PawPaw. Then the next night Papa, Miss Annette, Taylor, Joshua, and Zach came over for dinner. What a wonderful Christmas we had to be able to spend it with everyone that we love. Again, I can't tell you boys how very lucky you are to be able to spend not just Christmas, but everyday surrounded by people that love you! I know that I am not going to take it for granted, and I pray that you don't either. Your mommy and I love you boys more than anything else in the world, and just seeing your faces on Christmas mornings are the very best gifts that you could ever give to us. I will always remember these Christmas' when you boys are little. When you are a parent, there is just nothing better than seeing your children when they are happy...and I pray that you look back on Christmas' like this one and say that you boys were truly happy today. I love you boys....love Daddy
