Ahhh, what a fabulous start to the holidays! I am VERY thankful for Nana cooking such a delicious meal...AND doing all the cleanup (; Seriously though, it really was a perfect day. We always like to get in Nana's hair nice and early so we were at her house by 11am. Some people complained (Jason) that I set the dinner time for 4:00 so we moved it to 3:00 and next year it will be at two. A dear friend of ours, Sean, joined us this year and we are especially thankful for his being with us since he and his wife, my longest time friend Kaitlin, are moving to Australia. I am going to miss them both dearly and wish that Kaitlin could have joined us as well. Jillian was such a dear and slept right through dinner so we were all able to sit and enjoy without any interruptions!! Please note her ADORABLE outfit, it is priceless...way too big on her, but perfect nonetheless!
I do want to mention how thankful I am for my families health! Jillian has really had a rough start to her precious little life and now she is doing so much better. Her acid-reflux is under control and now that I am on my special diet her protein intolerance seem not to be bothering her and although her heart murmur is still the same we are extremely optimistic that it will close up before she turns a year. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for her and our family, we seem to be heading down better terrain now! I am also very thankful for my husband who, no matter how tiring his days are at work, he comes home with a smile on his face ready to tumble with his son. He is a very dedicated father and husband and I am thankful when he comes home to his family every night.
Well, my FAVORITE holiday is right around the corner and the next few weeks have proven to be very challenging for me, the anticipation just kills me...AND I LOVE IT! I cannot wait to see Jaxon's face light up Christmas morning. Who would have known three years ago how much better my holidays were about to become!
