merry christmas

i hope everyone had a merry christmas! i think the girls did! you know, each year the holidays seem to get a little more stressful, but more fun too. the kids make it great. alan and i were talking the other day and said that it would be boring if it were just us exchanging gifts in the morning. but watching the kids get all excited, and tearing into presents....that's what's so fun. and the older they get the better it gets. the best was this morning...i thought that it would be nice to pray before we started opening presents and thank God for all he has blessed us with, but before i could finish kylee had already begun to pray. she thanked jesus for all our presents and for sending his son. amazing! so simple, so truthful, so real! thank you sweetie for your strong, sweet spirit! and thank you all for all your prayers and support (and wonderful gifts....you are too much) , we feel them! we love you all. merry christmas!please mom, don't kill me for putting in this picture below, but i thought it was too cute not too!
