Ok so this Christmas season really was incredible. The gazillion pictures don't even do it justice. Highlights were Wertner's coming from TN, college Wertner's coming to Nana's, wonderful family parties with extended family, healthy children(this seems insignificant, but it can ruin the whole deal for the mom!), visit from Gpa and Gma Guinn, Davin's ankle healed enough to play bball again, and time - time with my busy children - there is nothing better!

Thanks for getting the tree just right :)

News Flash ... Josie Kate is a teenager!!!!

Josie, You are beautiful, which I have told you repeatedly is not important. What is important is that you are kind and intelligent, happy and helpful, diligent and fun. You are sensitive which is not a bad thing like some may want you to believe - it is especially sweet with you because it is combined with a toughness that will help you make it in this life. The sensitivity is a special gift you have to offer this world that lacks. I love you every last bit! I hope 13 will be an amazing year for you!!!!!
