We had a lovely Christmas this year, it's so fun to see how the kids change and respond differently. We watched some videos from last years Christmas and the kids all looked so little, I'm thinking we should watch those videos every year as a new tradition just to see a glimpse of our past each year.
Here is the short version, or I like to say Official Trailer of our Christmas morning.
Here is the full version with a little more detail. Marinn was very embarrassed to receive panties in her stocking and Taurin was really excited about it, oh what an age difference makes sometimes. Shaw got lots of fun cars to push, and drive everywhere. Blaize just looked really confused and a bit excited that everyone was tearing paper and it was all over, since we are always confiscating paper from him!
Christmas always seems to feel like you are finishing up a year and new goals and memories are coming so quickly. This year has been so very challenging in many ways, but looking back and seeing where we are today I realize that the foundation we have created from the beginning of our marriage and the commitment to serve and love one another with everything we have has been the reason for our success in difficult times, challenging situations, and just bad circumstances. In the end, a year that could have broken our family and relationship has made us stronger and reminded us that the effort that we have put forth to keep our family strong and healthy has paid off, that is has all been worth it. It hasn't been easy, but situations have always seemed to work out for the best even though they seemed impossible in the moment.
"We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."
I'm excited to say that Andrew will be starting his first day of work tomorrow, I'm so proud of all his hard work and perseverance to complete his training and go for the job and department that he wanted. Sometimes our dreams take sacrifice but it always seems to be worth it.
I found the videos from previous years : ) yay!
