Christmas 2014.

We had a really wonderful Christmas this year full of family, friends, and celebration. Noah had a great 6th birthday and we enjoyed being together and tried our best to take the time to reflect on all that we have to be grateful for. We had a little health scare with my Dad the week before Christmas and did not get any clarification till Christmas Eve, so we were all a little on edge to say the least. We were all relieved to hear that all was good and that it was nothing to worry about. When something like this happens, it really puts things into perspective and you realize what's really important and that is FAMILY. Being there for one another and making sure you give of yourself fully to the ones you love. We are so blessed to have one another and of course we all have our health to be thankful for.

For the last couple of years Orlin has talked about how when he was a kid his grandparents would come over first thing in the morning and watch them open all their gifts. He said how special it was for him to have them there and of course the grandparents loved it as well. This year I kind of gave in and said why not? So at 6:30 a.m. both sets of grandparents and Uncle Ty showed up and were able to witness the thrill of Christmas morning at our house. We took some video since it was a big year with a gas powered quad for Noah and Drew got his remote control car monster car that he was dying to have. I would share the all the video but they are quite lengthy, so here are a few pics from the morning and the boys opening their stocking stuff. Later that afternoon we headed over to my parents for Christmas dinner.

Noah got his gas powered quad that he was wanting and took it on a test drive first thing, or as soon as it was light out anyway.
