Christmas 2006

I have a full weekend for Christmas this year. Church this morning. Church tonight. Asher is a sheep in the church play. Gabe is a wise man (of 20 wise men :). I am a sewer extraordinaire.
In between our treks to church Gabe and I will be baking cookies. Chocolate cookies. Sugar cookies. Peanut Butter cookies. Yum. We will mix, and cut, and bake, and frost until our little fingers are stiff from frosting.
Last night Terry made pies. Pumpkin, cherry, enjoying a slice of pecan from the store while baking. We will relive the birth of Christ in a multiplex watching "The Nativity." We will indulge our boys and laugh at their squeals during "Night at the Museum." We will fill our day with songs and food and love. We have too many gifts, spent too much money.
We only think about today because this Christmas daddy is home.

Merry Christmas to my fellow bloggers and readers!

Remember our troops are without their families on this special day!!

Like we were last year.

Yes, indeed, what a difference a year makes. Last year, Seth was In Iraq and Kevin was in Alaska and unable to make it home for Christmas. This year, both were here for the festivities, so all three of my boys were home for Christmas.....it doesn't get any better than that..... :)
