Pictures from Christmas on Euclid 2009

Blessings

This time of year brings so much emotion to me. I'm so thankful for a lot. Here are a few things I'm thankful for: I'm so thankful and blessed to have wonderful family and friends. I'm thankful that we all can spend time together. I'm thankful that despite how busy we all are we manage to keep our traditions.

Our 1st tradition to bring in Christmas 2009 is going as a family to "Christmas on Euclid". Mom, Jen's family, Bec's family, and our family go. It's so much fun and creates many memories for all of us. It also helps me get in the holiday spirit. This year we captured this on our camera (photos to come). Emmie sat on Santa's lap and was looking at the ornaments. Nate decided that he just wanted to, "wave to Santa" and give him a picture he colored. We had way too much fun!

This time of year also makes me think of the people in our lives that have passed on. Grandma, Auntley, my Dad, Jerry's Mom---just to name a few. We are so blessed to have had these wonderful people in our lives.

Take time to hug those around you, keep your traditions with them, create memories, and remember to "live, laugh, love, and dance".
