Christmas Morning

The beauty queen and her daddy...

Scott gave me the best present ever! He had my wedding ring fixed. The stone had been loose and I have not been able to wear it for 6 months . I have hated it. But now....the ring looks more beautiful than the day he gave it to me. Oh and by the way....

HE WENT TO JARED!

Sorry, I just had to say that. Ha,ha...

Go ahead, put it all on! Everything you got.

Cade doesn't care for opening presents much. He just ran in and out periodically to check in. We loved that!

Kam's new jacket.

Mom wrapped this one good!

Still going....

Brea got Miranda a scoot along bus.

What I was thankful for today....

Today I am most thankful for my little family! I love my kids and honestly feel like I have the best husband in the world! I am thankful to be pregnant with #4 and to not be sick at ALL! Whew! Can't afford that right now. And...As always, I am thankful for the plan of salvation and the hope it brings! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!
Rain. As crazy as that sounds, I am thankful for rain! Because of rain, our ward party was canceled and I was able to go to our Porter Family Christmas party! I needed a relaxing night with the fam!
Today I was thankful for sacrament meeting. Call me crazy. Sacrament meeting is usually the most dreaded time for us but today was different. We felt the Spirit and filled our spiritual tanks. Our children were so still and calm and no one was even asleep. For some reason Cade was extreemly mellow. We watched him like a hawk all morning thinking he was going to throw up or something. Cade and the others did so great. Even after church....perfect. Today the Lord blessed us with this experience to renew our hope for the future of our dear family. Especially for our hope in Cade's progress. This day gave us something to look forward to, a light at the end of a long dark tunnel, and mostly, PEACE. This was one of the most joyous sabbath days I can remember. Thank you, Lord.
Cade's teachers! I can't believe we have been able to keep Lindsay, Cade's hab worker, this long! I am so thankful for her . She is a big reason why he has progressed so much! ...and... Mrs. Sandra, Cade's school teacher. He lookes forward to school every day and is misserable when he can't go. I love you both! You are in our prayers of gratitude every night!
Thankful for being able to be reunited with old highschool friends. Glad our kids play great and that our husbands like each other enough to get together often. Excited to have girlfriends again! Love ya Tara and Dee!
