Christmas 2009

What a great day for us; we have our health, our baby, and the gift of God in our hearts. What else would we ever want or need. We are enjoying a quiet day at home with our little gift from God. Our families are safe in their houses and enjoying their days as well.

Today is a mix of old and new traditions. First the new, I made pancakes, eggs, and bacon and want for this to be a new tradition when we are together. The old tradition is reading the Luke 2 account of Christmas before opening the gifts. We were given some nice gifts and are thankful for them.

Below are some photos of Ripley and us. If you want to see more, go to FaceBook. Merry Christmas!

Yes, Ripley is small enough to fit in her stocking.
