Ellie Mae & Ego puppies @ 5 weeks old – #EllieMae110924
It is incredible how much they grow from 5 weeks to 6 weeks. They change so much from week to week and grow so fast. We love watching them develop their personalities and discover the world around them.
For the last few years, we have celebrated Christmas with our kids and grandkids on Christmas Eve morning. The timing works for everyone, and with a big family, the ability to get everyone together is priceless. Billy and I have Christmas Eve dinner with his mom, sister, and brother-in-law.
Our youngest son, Chad, and his family are fostering/adopting a young boy who will get to celebrate his first Christmas with us this year. We look forward to welcoming him into our family and giving us six grandsons and one granddaughter (who is still sweet and sassy)
We have attended the Life’s Abundance convention several times over the years. They have their convention at sea. We have meetings on the days at sea, and then free time on the days we are in port. It is a nice mix of learning, networking, and play. We didn’t meet the goals for earning a free cruise this year. However, I was notified that I won it through the 2nd chance drawing this time. Yay! Billy and I used to go together, but Heather and I have gone the last few times and are looking forward to attending again.
I know the holidays can be challenging with missing loved ones, and this may be the first for some. If so, I hope you gain peace and joy from your memories of the times and the life you shared together.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebration. |
