Christmas 2008

BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE THE COLLAGE IN ITS FULL GLORY! :)

Well, as it was...this was the gist of our Christmas this year. From top to bottom and left to right...the Christmas tree in the front door of E's parents' home, E's mom with Walker on Christmas morning before we left to go see E's grandmother in the hospital, Walker with E's grandmother as we spent Christmas day with her there in the hospital, the cousins on E's side: Abby & Logan, Walker inside his antique football toybox, Forrest's sister with her most favorite Christmas gift: her lawn ornament pig, cousins from F's side: Caitlin and Kimberlee (foster child), Walker & Bella getting reacquainted, get together with E's high school church buddies, E & Walker trying on his gifts from Aunt Kim, Dad & W with his fireman work boots, the sunrise on E's parents' farm, E's BFF Candace (pregnant with Cooper arriving in May), mommy being creative with play time when it's too cold to go outside...we play in the pool in the enclosed barn, the family in Highland Park, TX in the magnificent lights (during our time there for the run).
That's it. Hope you enjoyed it. Obviously this Christmas was like none we've experienced before with my dad being sick and unable to participate for the most part, but we are thankful he's feeling better and hanging in there. We weren't able to do the 'normal' traditional things like go to the Christmas Eve service at church or open presents on Christmas morning, but we are thankful that our new perspective on life and the importance of family was magnified this Christmas.
Happy New Year Blogland!
