Merry Christmas 2008!

Here is one of our Christmas card pictures for 2008. Getting the dogs involved didn't go too well! We are having some friends over tonight and will head to Wichita Tuesday morning. My mom and her dog are driving up to KS from Tucson on Sunday. I can't wait for the family to all be together. My brother and his very pregnant wife are hosting Christmas for us this year! My prayer is that God will help us remain focused on enjoying each moment together and that the event not be stressful for my SIL, Angela. We are staying in a hotel (with the dogs), and the boys will be able to swim...which is a good thing because it looks like it is going to be freezing! We'll come back on the 27th. My aunt, uncle, cousin and baby second cousin are coming down for a visit on the 29th...yea! I can't wait for the boys to meet baby Lily. Chris' parents are coming on the 30th from AZ. We are so excited to see them. We haven't seen them since Easter, which is the longest we've gone since having the boys. I know it is going to be a very special holiday season this year. I am so grateful to have this time off so that we can get in some quality family and friendship time!
