Top Ten Christmas Memories of 2009


1. Carols and Candles on Christmas Eve at FBC McKinney with my sweet family and dreaming of a day when Marty and I are surrounded by our children's children on a Christmas Eve far into the future.

2. Watching Sofie and Lily dance in the kitchen while Marty played music from his new I-Pod speakers. Sofie can really shake what God gave her! Hahahaha!

3. Listening to my mother reading to my children on Christmas Eve thanks to our new audio version of The Night Before Christmas. (A precious gift and new family heirloom that allows mom to be "with" us for Christmas).

4. Making Merry and reading the Christmas Story on Christmas Eve with our dear friends and surrogate family The Recks...a Texas Christmas Tradition for which I am thankful.

5. Hot apple cider and a roaring fire after the Christmas mess was all cleaned up Christmas night.

6. The smell of turkey, Christmas Cookies, and Snow in the air! It was the first Christmas snow in North Texas since 1926! "Though our sins were as Crimson, He makes us white as snow!"

7. Snuggling up with Marty and watching It's A Wonderful Life cuz it REALLY is!

8. Watching the kids play Wii boxing Christmas Eve day...Lily is sooo NOT tough!

9. Waking up to Christmas surprise on Christmas morning...Sofie pulled the ceramic Santa stocking holder off the mantle and missed her head by INCHES!

10. Waking up to our elves playing Candyland on Christmas Eve day and listening to my children giggle at their silly ways.
