Jacob's Sweet Little Prayer.

I didn't understand any of it, but I am sure God did =)

Better Late than Never!!!!

WOW! Okay, that was a huge lul in the blog (I think that usually happens ever year) but here we are. BACK!!! Hope your holidays were wonderful! Our little family just stayed here for Christmas. We had a special Christmas Eve dinner at the house and watched The Grinch. Noah had a VERY hard time getting to sleep that night because he knew that "youknow who" was coming and was so excited to open his presents! I think by 11:30 he FINALLY fell asleep. Christmas morning was exciting as the boys woke up and saw thier gifts under the tree. We read the Christmas Story and enjoyed a French Toast breakfast with Chocolate Donuts as an extra special treat. The boys received a swing set for Christmas and we played on it the rest of the day. Some dear friends invited us over for dinner that night, so we enjoyed spending the holiday with some "adopted" family. The next morning we flew out early to catch a plane to Chicago. We were planning on just driving ourselves to the airport, but at the last minute our friends Phillip and Karen said they would take us. What a blessing! Especially since our flight left at 6:26 and we had to leave about 4am. We spent the next 8 days in Chicago area with my family. It was so nice to see everybody and just relax. Noah wanted to play in the snow so bad, (in fact that is all he talked about for 3 weeks) but when we arrived the snow had started to melt and by the next day there were only wet dirt piles. Poor Kid. Maybe next year. Surprisingly nobody got sick, so that is a huge praise! Anyway, our first week back was nice and normal. I love vacations but I also love routine!!!! Hope your Christmas was amazing! What an awesome privelege we have to celebrate the birth of OUR KING!!!!!
