We celebrated Christmas with family in Arizona this year. Boy were we glad to get back to some warmer weather (there's a phrase I never thought I'd say)! After a couple quick days, we loaded up the car with suitcases, presents, and portable dvd players and headed to Anaheim, CA to spend Mom's birthday (and Christmas with the family) at Disneyland. Nance and Wade drove down from Flagstaff and Bill and Caitlin joined us too. It was the first time our entire family had been at Disneyland all together. Last time Nance and I were there with our folks, it was 1984. After a couple of whirwind days in sunny California, we headed back to Phoenix and made it just in time on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of our Savior at Palm Valley Church. We so miss our church family and it was WONDERFUL to see so many of them again.
We had such a wonderful time, but were happy to be back in Little Rock when we arrived home. Daniel was especially happy to be home and sleep in his own bed. He loved Christmas this year and had a blast opening all of his presents. He liked it so much, in fact, that every time I come home with any type of bag, he says, "presents?". Maybe we need to consider cutting back a bit next year. :)
Just two days after Christmas we got the best news of all when we found out that we have a healthy baby girl on the way! May just can't come soon enough! I've already been combing stores looking at pink clothes galore and Daddy is already coming up with ways to spoil his little princess. We can't wait to see our sweet little girl and see how Daniel reacts to being a big brother. He has such a tender heart and we know he will take good care of his baby sister (once he realizes he cannot hit her with his Little Tykes hammer). Please begin praying for us now. :)
Last year was such a huge year of change, we cannot even begin to imagine what God has in store for us in 2008. We are so excited to see what He has planned for us
