Christmas is Closer...

Always busy weekends in December...come Sunday night, I am always exhausted and needing some vegetation time on the couch with complete silence. Ha! Who am I kidding? When does that happen? We had the Ringger Christmas on Saturday evening. I watched my Grandfather - who is well over 80 - play with the kids, shoot baskets and play the golf contest with the best of them. He has to look at this fellowship hall full of kids, laughter and love and just have such a blessed feeling of the multitudes of descendants. It makes you sit back and wonder what you future will look like sometimes. I know ours won't be such a multitude (hey - I only have two kids!), but I hope someday we all gather and I can sit there and smile at the generations Jeff and I created.




On Sunday, we went to our annual trip to the Nutcracker with the girls. This is our third year of going, and Carlie was just as excited as the first time. Actually, perhaps even a bit more because she knew what was expected. We enjoyed a nice lunch with two other mommy/daughter friends at the Gas House first. I can't believe just in comparing the pictures from the first year to this year how much all three girls have grown. I would love to continue this tradition for years to come. Next year I promised Lucy she could join us. I can't wait to see her eyes light up. Perhaps in more years to come Lacey & Amelia and Ginger & Stella can join us too!!
