TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Well here we go again...Another Wonderful Holiday Season!

So I was wondering what I wanted to remember about this

season....hum. Okay so does anybody even read this blog?

I love the time from Halloween thru New Years...it is just

like one big party. So don't take it all so seriously...try to relax

and enjoy it all. So what if all the stores have Christmas

decorations up during Halloween....So what if the radio

started playing Christmas music right after Halloween...isn't

that what helps to bring the spirit of Christmas in to your

hearts. To many complain that we are forgetting to celebrate

thanksgiving, that we focus too much on Christmas...

but I say No that is not true, Thanksgiving is not a forgotten holiday.
..it is one of the best!
Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, they all just blend 

together....all the sounds, smells,

food ...they all go together. So don't get angry and complain,

Just relax, and remember why we celebrate the holidays, 

why we love our family, why we give gifts and especially

why we Remember Jesus Christ and his birth.
Shouldn't that make us happier?
We should love that it can start earlier each year, so

we can keep those thoughts and feelings in our hearts longer...
isn't that why we celebrate in the first place! 

I am so excited for this year because......

First this will be the second Christmas for my youngest son

to be gone....never fun, but so thankful for him and all his

missionary service that he is giving.
For the blessings we gain from his service.One more year to go!

  Just Love that Kid!

Second, looking forward to having Andy and Maren and

especially Grey come for a Christmas visit...YEAH! I 

have really missed them and can't wait to see them.

Third, So excited to spend time with Steph and David, 

Aimee, Nate and my very sweet grandchildren...

Kambree, and Kaidyn. 

Can't wait to give them all some Christmas LOVE!

Fourth....time with Lionel. We have been learning how to

be a couple again...does that make sense. For some 

twenty years or more we have had our children in the home

with us. (Loved every minute of it!)

Now it is just the two of us once again.  

It's almost like starting all over again, the circle of our
life is coming around. 

Yep so many different seasons in our lives and I

am starting to enjoy this new one. It has taken some time

and is still a work in progress but I am just taking it one

day at a time and enjoying each moment.
I Love you...Lionel!  

So I hope that each one of you will enjoy your

Holiday's, have fun...cooking, laughing, wrapping, eating,

partying, reading, loving, giving and just plain smiling.
And of course listening to wonderful Christmas
music and watching some fun Movies!

There is absolutely nothing better than our Family and

spending it all together! Have a terrific Time!
