WOW, we've had a busy Christmas season!
To start it all off, the Mason Punchers won the football State Championship just a few weeks ago! We are all so very proud of the boys, coaches, & community! It's such an amazing accomplishment & they put in lots of time and work to get there, so CONGRATS!!! ... Michael is now in basketball season, coaching the boys JV team & helping with varsity. He's already busy with that, and of course, I definitley understand all about that. I'm just hanging out enjoying the break this year! ... A few days before Christmas, Michael surprised me with my present, for everything, of a beautiful cedar bed! I LOVE IT & I do have the MOST AMAZING husband I could've ever prayed for. He has been 'secretly' working on it for the past 1 1/2 yrs and had lots of help, so thanks to those of you who did help & who kept the secret!
Christmas time! -Bittersweet this year for us; we missed our sweet Maddex SO MUCH this holiday season, because it would've been our first with him. We know that he did have the best Christmas ever though, because he spent it with Christ! It has been a little hard sometimes to see friends & family getting to spend those precious moments with their blessings, especially the new babies, but we know that we've been blessed too in our own special way. Maddex did get some Christmas goodies though; mom & dad got us some ornaments that say: Mom, Dad, & my 1st Christmas. Michael and I decided to get Maddex some books that we can share with his little brothers & sisters, the Lord willing, one day soon. We wanted to get a book about an angel so that they will be able to share a story about an angel watching over people, just like Maddex will watch over them. -And of course, we got him a "First Christmas" book. (We still had to shop a little for him, even though he's in Heaven!)
The New Year! - ... is soon approaching. We pray this year that you will alll be blessed in 2012, and we also pray very special prayers that in this coming year, we will be blessed with a growing family here on Earth! We can't wait to see what this New Year holds!
Love to you all this holiday season, & cherish every moment with the ones you love! :)
