We celebrated Christmas early this year. Jay and Hannah are headed to Florida for Christmas so we got everyone together on Dec. 14 and it was such a wonderful day. To be honest I kind of enjoyed doing it this way this year. It frees up Mike and I to do what we want for the rest of the season and the boys also. Nick and Rylan can spend time with her family on Christmas and Jay and Hannah will be laying on a beach in sunny FL. All that matters is that we are together some time during the season and that's what we did yesterday. John and Judy flew in on Dec. 12 and are staying with us at our house through Dec. 18 when they will leave to visit Judy's family in IN. I am enjoying having them minus their mean dog - just saying. Ha!
These four kids have my heart. What a delight it is to be a part of your adult childrens lives.
Three generations of Siebert men!
My momma. It isn't easier for her or us to get her here but we get it done and are so thankful she is still able to make the trip and spend the afternoon with her family.
These girls! If I would have had a crystal ball all those years ago when I was raising my boys and if I could have seen how they would turn out and the amazing women they brought into our family I probably would have relaxed a lot more. That's not how it works though. It sure is a testament to God's faithfulness though.
Yesterday was beautiful in so many ways. There was a lot of laughter. It was wonderful having everyone together under one roof. Extended family is the best and I'm very thankful.
