We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. It has been a very busy week, glad it's over!! Last weekend I felt stressed out wondering if we were going to get this close and then Chris wouldn't be around to baptise Jacob but it was just another bump in the road to go around thank goodness. So at Jacobs baptism Thursday morning after he was baptised and confirmed I let out a "BIG" sigh. One momentous occasion down a lot more to go:) It was a beautiful baptism so many people contributed and sacrificed their time to make it special - Thank you!! A family in our ward made a wonderful luncheon for us it was delicious so much food. The mother had asked me if Jacob liked Mexican food I told them not really so she brought a cheese pizza just for him!! and then one of her daughters made a birthday cake for him a soccer ball - it was amazing looking. Words can not express the feelings of gratitude that we feel for so many people, people that we hadn't met (until Thurs) that took time away from their Xmas Eve to make ours extra, extra special. We will always remember this Xmas Eve fondly. Thank you again may you be extra blessed for your kindness to us:)
Christmas Eve evening was weird because Chris had to work. I still continued on with our family traditions. We watch Mr. Krueger's Xmas, Joy to the World, eat popcorn and then we read the scriptures. I missed my honey but kept reminding myself that he would be home soon. They actually let all of the employees go early 9pm. Chris was home by 9:30 just in time to help me wrestle them into bed:) Life is good:))
Christmas day had a different feel to it this year than last. Last year we thought that we only had months to be with Chris so their was a lot of crying and I video taped everything (with our new video recorder thanks to many of you:)) This year I cried because I was so happy that Chris was still here with us and hoping that this trial is over that Chris can continue to be with us and will experience different trials - less stressful ones:)) from now on.
He is still very, very tired. He is still also taking Lovenox every 12 hours 9am and 9pm so if any of you are with Chris during either of these times please remind him to "take his shot" ("Your wife said!!!")
Yesterday we went and saw Frog Princess. We enjoyed it, moved fast and was better than expected.
Hope all of you had a great Christmas and we sure do appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and generosity. We feel very blessed!
