Christmas Eve

Another Christmas Eve has come and gone, every year you wait for this time to come and then it goes by way to fast. I had to work for a couple of hours in the morning but Aly was home with the girls and then we met for lunch and went and saw Aly's Grandpa to see his holiday setup. For the evening festivities we went to Grandpa and Grandma Ferran's for some good food and the traditional gift exchange between Cousins, Aunts and Uncles and Aly's parents giving a small Christmas Eve gift to everyone. We were on the road at 10:30 and the girls were soon fast asleep in the car with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads.

Were really blessed to have what we do, and Christmas time is a good reminder of how perfect Heavenly Fathers plan is, despite us not seeing the bigger picture sometimes. I am truly blessed and thank him for that plan that brought the boy Jesus to this Earth to save us all, and that part of that plan I have a family that I can be with forever. Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks for all you do for our family.
