holiday happenings (part 3)

as a child at home christmas was the cat's meow

as a young adult the meow had changed

no more excitment, just happiness to be surrounded by family

as a childless couple the meow changed again

for us, it was a time of prosperity that we had to gift eachother well

now, wtih kiddos around, the meow is back and better than ever 

the girls loved wearing a special dress and getting curls

jillian loved watching the grinch and still talks about him.

story of baby jesus

mostly though, christmas 2009 was special because of two little

faces that we live for.

(not that you can see those faces in the following picture.)
