Jacob's first Christmas concert was a wonderful event, even if our seats were on the wrong end of the auditorium. Lesson one, ask your kid where they are going to be standing on the stage during the concert :) He, my little shy guy, was up there singing and dancing and having a great time. It was fabulous and he was so proud of himself.
Christmas was almost defeated by the flu, which went through 7 members of our family between the 19th and 23rd of December. Thankfully, we had a reprieve for a few fun-filled days before my sister was knocked down with it and had to delay her flight home because she couldn't get out of bed.
Regardless, Santa made his scheduled stop at our house and the kids had a blast.
Visiting with cousin, Deacon, was a real treat, and having the whole family with us to celebrate the holidays is a rare occurrence that will be fondly remembered.
Grace is such a caring little girl, she loves to take care of the little ones and had to be reminded regularly that she is not allowed to carry her baby cousin (who weighs more than 20 lbs.), around the house. She compromised by following him everywhere and calling his name like a puppy. Too cute.
So as we gear up for 2010 and get back into the swing of all our activities, jobs, schools et al., I am thankful for a holiday season full of love and family, and treasure the memories that these fleeting moments bring.
