Merry Christmas 2012

Shayla, Christmas 2012 

It doesn't seem possible this was our seventh Christmas without her.  Seven years without Christi here for Christmas?  Unbelievable!  Did we really only have 9 with her, now 7 without.  These numbers are mind-boggling. 

Despite missing Christi, we had an absolutely wonderful Christmas!  Last night was mass, where the church was beautifully decorated and we chatted with Christi's great friend Kaylyn.  It's always great to see her.  This morning, after opening presents, aunt Marty and uncle Jeff joined us for a Christmas morning hike - gorgeous!  Upon our arrival back home, my awesome sister and her whole family came up for Christmas dinner and gift exchanging.  How fantastic to spend the whole day together enjoying each other.  We are blessed!  I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas with your great friends and loved family members too!  Rejoice our Savior is born!
