Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a wonderful Christmas and New Years we had. It was full of family, food, and fun! We had a busy December at church and with all the family that came to visit. Santa was so good to us and of course Jesus was the whole reason for this wonderful time we had. We feel so blessed with all the love we got to share with everyone. My mom and dad made the trip and we were so excited to spend our time with them. The kids had so much fun playing with Papa Wood! My Cousins Heather, her hubby Stephen, and Wade, and Aunt Tracey made it in town. We had some good cousin time! We had a fabulous Concienne Christmas with Ryan's side.. tons of toys and lots of playing going on there! Christmas Eve service was so beautiful! The kids enjoyed the music and the message, there was even a real live baby playing Jesus! That was exciting! New Years was spent with some close friends from church.. Our new tradition.. 10 adults, 12 kids.. lot of fireworks and lot of Wii band hero.. I am so blessed with the wonderful friends that we have! Love them all! Aaron and Allison had a stay up as late as you can night.. at their friends house.. Thank You, Breneks.. they had a blast.. and got to visit with their Momo Hawkins and cousin Amanda! To end our holiday fun we had the Bench Christmas (our best friends) at our house and a kid sleep over swap. We had the boys and they had the girls. Lots of fun... now time for the kiddos to go back to school and have our routine back!
