Family Time

We got to spend time with family tonight... aunts and uncles, brothers, cousins, niece and nephews... it was really nice, only wish it was longer.

We also got a bit of good news... really nice.

Friday we will see our niece Hailey in the Nutcracker. I can't wait. Saturday, Christmas Eve with the children and our family. Sunday, we'll likely spend together with a couple of steaks and other good stuff. Monday, we'll hopefully get to see John, Leah, Rachael, Dennis and all of those kids!

While I am counting my blessings, I am also thinking of those who are in despair, mourning and hoping. That's what I think is most important at this time of year, be grateful for what I have and pray for others.
