We've had an eventful couple weeks. It started off early last week with a very special visit from our best friends from pilot training. They drove down with their three kiddos from California and we were able to get together twice during their couple days in town. It was super fun....all 10 of us! Last time we were all together, I believe we both just had one kiddo a piece, both around a year and a half. So fun to catch up and see the growing families in person.
On the 23rd, my parents arrived in town to spend Christmas with us. The boys were beyond excited to see "the Grandma with the pond" as Thomas called her and their very special "Great Sleeping Bear." We still have a couple more days together. It's been a wonderful time so far. We all attended church together on Christmas Eve. A tradition that started in my family that Ronnie and I have continued in ours. Our church is pretty casual, but I love dressing the kids up for Christmas Eve church. Okay, I admit, it was especially fun to dress up my doll baby this year! You gotta love the coat and hat my mom's friend sent her!
The 23rd also marked Gabrie's three month birthday. A smiley photo to mark the day! She's definitely had a growth spurt to mark the occasion as well. Feeling a little sad watching my teeny tiny one disappear before my very eyes.
I'll plan to get some of the Christmas photos uploaded in my next post. Still sifting through them as I'm in my pj's in most of them and not really wanting them displayed all over the world! :) My best present this year....a little girl who arrived a few months prior to the holiday. But I'd take her early or any day. One of the three best gifts I've ever been given. These came without wrapping, required very special handling, but have filled my heart to capacity with an all-encompassing love. Only a glorious Father could give such precious gifts.
