We had a wonderful Christmas together surrounded by our family and friends. We had Candle Light Service at our church before heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a great time with our family laughing, eating, sharing gifts with each other. One of the greatest gifts was the safe arrival of my niece and her husband driving in that evening from California through the down-pour! We are so happy to have them here for a little bit.
Christmas morning we woke up to share a few gifts from each other. Anthony was so sweet to Isabella. He carried on a tradition that a friend helped Daddy start last year, getting Isabella a charm for her bracelet. Daddy picked a special little ladybug for his little lady and this year Anthony choose a cute little turtle because he thought it was the best charm for her.
After the gifts, it was time to play! Isabella thought that if Anthony could play basketball on his new goal then she could show him a few moves of her own!
Well, it was a different kind of Christmas this year mixed lots of feelings and some of the old things we did with Daddy and some of new things just for the three of us. God proved His love for us by the strength, love and hope that he filled us with each day. We HOPE you had a wonderful time and wish you well in 2011.
