"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"

feeling: happy
its saturday night, december 26. i can't believe Christmas is over... but then again it seems like it was a week ago!
we had a long week, but it slowed down long enough for us to truly enjoy it! i was worried that our Christmas day would just be GOGOGO! but it wasnt! we all but had to push Ethan out of bed in the morning. he didnt believe me that Santa had come! but when he finally got up he found himself a mountain of presents!
Kitty was watching them for us! :)
after we played with toys at home for awhie we packed up and headed out(in the snow) for the Croghan's house. there we had a second Christmas with my family!
Grandma Croghan might have gone present-for-Ethan-wild this Christmas!
of course he loved EVERYTHING that he got this year! after presents we chatted for awhile and ate lunch. Ethan laid down for a nap and i snuggled in to watch a 'Bones' marathon on TNT! :) love that show!
around 3 Matt came and picked us up and we headed to his parents house for our 3rd Christmas of the day!
a Cars ramp... its loud and goes off randomly!
we usually head off to Eddyville for dinner with Nancy's side of the family, but since the weather was iffy Matt didn't really want to drive. so from the Russell's house we came back home to relax together!
we ended up having a wonderful and enjoyable holiday together as a family! no fighting, we didnt get too cranky either! we had a great balance of family time, presents, food and love!
i'm thankful everyday for my family. for Matt who loves me on my worst days. for Ethan who can always make me smile! for our parents and siblings who are and will be there for us no matter what! and for our friends who seem more like extended family every day!
thank you to everyone who cares for and love us! we are blessed to have you in our lives!
