Christmas Night

Our Christmas Blessing.

Ready for the evening.

Having fun.

Playing with the girls.

Acting goofy while I "try" to get some pictures.

All the cousins after a long evening (including a trip to the park after the rain!)

Opening more gifts.

Playing with Sammie.

Christmas evening we went over to Brian's home for Christmas dinner and to open the last of the family gifts. Before heading over to him home I tried to get some pictures of Lauren. She was acting crazy and of course driving me up the wall. She was just excited from the whole day.

The evening was fun and it was a great way to end Christmas 2008. One of the special blessings for 2008 was my new nephew, Jacob. Jacob is just a few weeks old but has had a rough going. He was in ICU for about a week after he was born. He has an enlarged heart and he has some other issues related to that. We are hopeful with a new treatment that he can live a long and healthy life. He is our Christmas blessing and we thank God everyday for such a sweet little guy. Please keep him in your prayers.
