The Joys of Christmas

We have many reasons to be rejoicing this year. First and foremost we are healthy and happy! We are grateful to be living in a free country were we have the right to practice the religion of our choice. We have a home and food on our table, which we consider a blessing. Jon has a job that he enjoys and provides for our family, which is also a wonderful blessing.
And we have three beautiful children.All of the kids were very excited to receive gifts this year.
We hope with time and increase of years they will learn the joy of giving!
Their joy was our gift this year.
It is so fun to see the joy and excitement of children opening a present.
Thank you to everyone who sent gifts. We are really enjoying everything we received.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas
and had the pleasure and joy of your families being near.
We also had the pleasure of having Cami and Chris Katona and his sister Julie over for Christmas dinner. It was a joy to have them. We had a great time visiting and eating lots and lots of food.
Merry Christmas!

Jackson was so funny and cute in nursery today! He made a huge tower of blocks and goes, "ta-da!" while he threw his hands out. I started laughing and told him, "you are too funny!" And he goes, "I AM too funny!" I can't believe he talks so well.
