The Christmas card

I am so excited for my Christmas card this year. It is a little silly, but fun. I am having a crazy week, so I am shooting to have it "done" and sent this weekend. (It may be sent from California the rate I am going, but it will be sent.) I love Christmas cards, especially receiving them. I also, in a strange way, love writing them. It gives me a moment to recap the year. (Although this year has been a challenging one).
We are trying to remember all the blessings of the year. Like, Derek found a great job. We sold our home quickly, and without a realtor. We had a beautiful baby girl (Miss Kiley -dimples- Ann) join our family. And her little foot is doing awesome!! We found a beautiful home in Idaho, and the kids are doing well in school. And although we miss our family and friends, like crazy, we've started to make some great "new" friends. Life is wonderful. We are blessed. Challenges make you grow, even though I am still so short (according to Zach.) I love receiving your cards. Your families are beautiful, and your messages inspiring. Merry Christmas everyone!! I love this time of year! Keep those card coming!! love to all of you!
