Christmas 2008

Every year the kids get an ornament on Christmas Eve that they get to open and hang on the tree. I have been doing this since they were born. The keep all these ornament in their own special box that they get out every year when we decorate the tree.

Santa CAME!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas! My brother and his wife came over Christmas morning which is always a treat. The kids were with their dad on Christmas eve and my sister-in law's family was gracious enough to include me in their Christmas Eve festivities. Christmas is always a wonderful time to reflect on our blessings!

U Can Share Food Drive

Isaiah's school participated in "U Can Share Food Drive" in which the school had the kids donate canned goods that will go to those in need. The grade that raised the most cans got to be on the news. At Cooper West 1st grade came in first place so Isaiah got to be on the news!! The whole school raised 1,398 lbs. of cans. He felt pretty special. He is the child in the blue jacket being held up by his teacher in the back.
