happy New Year!
It is time to begin the New Year's resolutions and if you are like me they last about as long as it takes me to say them. I wish that I had the determination to not let things get in my way, however it always seems something more important comes up.
So as I begin 2011, I am vowing to just live life that God created me for me and my family to live. I am going to take the ups and cherish them and the downs and learn from them. I pray that 2011 is not near as eventful health wise for our family as 2010 was. I pray that 2011 brings each of you a year of blessings and wonderful memories.

Christmas
"Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly"
"Its beginning to look alot like Christmas"
"Silver Bells, Silver Bells its Christmas time in the City"
"Joy to the World, the Saviors come"
"Away in the Manger no crib for a bed"
I could go on and on with Christmas lyrics. Christmas songs are my some of my very favorite ones. I love to hear them because it helps me remember the real reason we are celebrating, not just the commercial side of things.
To talk the commercial side I am just a few gifts short of being done. But the ones I am short are important ones like my mom and dad and my grandma. We haven't been to see Santa as I am trying to limit Jenna's exposure to all the sick people since she can't seem to get well.
I am having all the Chastains for Christmas day so my mom and I spent most of the day cleaning on Saturday. We are trying to have a simple Christmas meal so we won't have as much cleanup.
Kim and I are trying to get a cake done for Christmas Eve to celebrate Jesus' birthday. I am going to get party plates. We want our kids to realize that without Jesus' birthday we would have no real reason to live let alone celebrate.
Wishing each of you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
I am going back to cleaning while the family is still asleep and singing (for those of you know me I have to do that when no one else is around) Christmas Carols.
