Holiday Gladness

How grateful I am this holiday season to have both our families live so close. This year was a special year for both Kasey and I. For the first time in 3 years both my brothers and my sister were here, and for the first time in 4 years all Kasey's brothers and sisters were here too. (which is really quite impressive since there are 8 children, 7 spouses, 19 grandchildren - one of which was born on the 21st of December, and one on the way) We are so blessed to be surrounded by family and great friends. As 2007 comes to a close, we have been able to reflect on all the Lord has blessed us with and we have TRULY been blessed. It's not always easy to combine two family traditions, but I am so grateful to have two families that are willing to share our time. It has been such a great weekend bouncing between both families getting to spend time with both. We hope you and your family were able to share this holiday season together and wish you a wonderful 2008 filled with happiness and love!
