It is hard to believe Christmas has come and gone for 2007. We all have so many things to be thankful for, and the most important thing I am thankful for is our Savior. Throughout this season, I tried hard to keep Christ in Christmas, and I continued to explain to Carlee Grace and Hayden the reason we were celebrating. It is hard to believe that on that cold, dark, and lonely night our baby Jesus was born to innocent parents that had no clue what was before them, or any idea the pain and suffering their baby boy would endure for the entire world. Wow- I can't imagine what Mary must have felt to see her Son on that cross- it breaks my heart when my kids get a scraped knee or black eye- I sure don't think I could endure the pain and agony of seeing them suffer like that, but THANK GOD HE DID, all for us!!
This week I took off from work to spend some time with Chris and the kids, and it has been the best unproductive week ever. Of course Monday and Tuesday we celebrated with family, but then Wednesday Hayden and I slept in while Chris took Carlee Grace duck hunting with Wesley and Paw Paw. They had a good time, even with Carlee Grace getting stuck in the mud up to her bottom in her waders, to Paw Paw sinking his boat, but not even getting wet. Carlee Grace said getting stuck was her favorite part of the whole trip. Oh, and they even survived CG having to use the bathroom in the waders- another story for another time!!! On Thursday, we all went bowling with coupons we had from a birthday party. We had the best time just all being together, and then I went shopping for a little while, exchanging gifts. Later in the day I spent my Mother's day gift, a mani/pedi at Aqua the Day Spa, and it was lovely. A rare treat that was wonderful- I could get used to that pampering. Carlee Grace spent the night with Nana Thursday night after eating with her, Trey and Julia. We'll see what Friday has in store... Hope everyone is having a great week!!! I'm already dreading going back to work.
