December

December has been a fun busy month for us this year. We have been a family of four for 1 1/2 years and there have been so many changes for all of us. I truly thank God for sticking with us and helping us through the tough times. Now, I see my two children playing and laughing much more often. Our house has become a home again and I do not find myself wanting to find the escape door or turn back time.
Some of our activities this month included Erik's annual work parties ( one for the children with Santa and gifts and one for the adults at the Marietta Country Club for dinner the next weekend), holiday parties in their classrooms, an art class and show at The Art Place for Ellie Grace and her friend, dinner to celebrate with Kristi and Clay at Grandma Sue and Grandpa How's house, a night at Nana and Pop's house for the little ones, a date night to see The Blind Side and dinner at Aspens for us while they were away, a morning of wonderful presents from Santa, and finally having the Ward family and the Kjeldsens over to exchange gifts and eat on Christmas afternoon.
