Christmas was hard, but i got through it. I spent xmas eve with the kids. We went to my brother and sil's house. Shelli gave me a beautiful frame with a picture of my mom in it and a hanging cross on the other side. I cried because it was so pretty. Late that night, I went to church with Shelli and Keri. It was so nice and i felt so much comfort in being there that i wish i could go more often. After i left, I came home and cried like a baby while I put out all the presents. I was thinking of the same time last year, how Mom helped me put everything out after she came home from church.
My dad was here from Friday night and just left this morning. It was nice to spend time with him. He was here mostly the whole time and even rode with me 4 hrs to pick up Dragan and come back home.
In a few days, Dragan and I will be flying to NC to spend New Year's eve and day with Amber and her kids, Connor, Brennen and Makenna. We havent seen her since August and are excited to be going for a visit. D is especially excited to be going. He got along great with the boys.
