Ours has been a wonderful adventure that started by being stranded on Christmas Eve, on a barren highway for 2+ hours with what we THOUGHT was a busted transmission. We made the best of it by hiking through the woods on the side of the highway, all of us with 3 kids and even the dog, quite a sight. At one point Eric paused and said, "What if there are hunters out here?" Oh well, didn't think of that??? We were fine. Praise the Lord, just found out today only the pan that holds the transmission fluid was broken, so that's about a fifth of the cost we were fearing! After just buying a house and having Christmas, that was sure GREAT news!
My highlight of the season was the kids doing their Christmas "play" for their grandparents. They were the 3 kings and Eric was King Herod. They sang 2 songs, and all of them did GREAT - I was so proud of them and they looked so cute in their costumes. Sarah's baby dolls were Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus... wish I could show you all the video!!
The other sweet highlist was - I have the most dear, sweet Mother in Law "MOM" in the world - she gave me a gift from the kids, a gift certificate to a spa down in uptown that I love. She said it's not fair that I'm their teacher AND their mom so I never get gifts for either role.  She even had them make me a card. Eric never thinks to do such things from the kids so it meant a LOT to me, from them, and also to know how much what I do is apprciated even by their Mamaw.
So, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. The kids are still trying to "take in" all the new STUFF - way too much. Time to give some old stuff away!!!!!!!!!
Love and Happy Holidays to all who celebrate!
