Lots to blog about

Well we're out of school until January 5th. There is so much to do and so little time to do it in. Ryan has off all this week so we want to get as much family time as we can. Friday, Ryan and I finished up our shopping and went to the movies. If you are looking for a funny movie, I recommend Four Christmases. It is hilarious. Saturday night we took the girls to Fiesta Texas. They didn't have many rides going but we did catch a couple of shows, saw many Christmas lights and the biggest tree in Texas(so they claim). The girls even went in the middle of the stage when they asked for the kids to come sing with them in one show. Reagan really enjoyed the rides this time. Okay so she didn't enjoy Frosty.







We have a tradition that every Friday after Thanksgiving we go to my Mom's and make gingerbread houses. Well we still did that this year BUT Karagen gingerbread house was destroyed by some freak force of nature. So of course Omie to the rescue, my mom bought her another and this is her master piece.

She also made a mini one at school. They had so much fun. I wasn't able to be there because I was at home with Reagan, she was sick. Well sort of... it's a VERY long story. .

Yesterday, Ryan took Karagen hunting... for a little while anyway. Karagen come home mad because she can't go to the bathroom anywhere like Daddy can. I told it is was just one of those things in life that is so great about being a girl. Today we are taking the girls bowling.

This Christmas I can't stop thinking how lucky I am to have a happy, healthy family. I got upset with Karagen the other day for talking ugly to Reagan. I told her she needed to think about how lucky she was to have a sister. Then I felt bad because I should have taken my own advice and realized how lucky I was to be able to say that I have 2 children. I think about the Morris family (see blog below) and how they are suffering this time of year. I pray for them to heal and know that Greyson is at the hands of the Lord. This Christmas I will remember how lucky I am to have everyone I love right here with me. Enjoy this time of year and the people in it. It is amazing how fast things change.

I told you I had a lot to blog about... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
