This year was so much fun since Aubrey was old enough to help decorate the tree. Ever since I was a kid we always put the angel on top of the tree once everything else was done and, of course, Aubrey wanted to do it first!
All finished!
It finally stopped raining long enough for us to go out and get a tree. Jon went with us and Evelyn wore the bear suit that Aubrey wore when we took her to get a tree for the first time. I got it all set up and put the lights on it so the girls and I can decorate it tomorrow. I so excited since this year Aubrey is old enough to help! Here are some pictures of our hunt for the perfect tree.
(Sorry it's so small, I had to take it from my myspace) 
I have soo much to thank the Lord for!
Craig- He is the most amazing man and I am so blessed to have him as my husband! I am so thankful that he is a good Christian man and work hard to provide for us I am so blessed that he is the man I am going to spend my life with and have his help in raising our children.
Aubrey and Evelyn- I cannot express just how thankful I am for these two gifts! Being their Mom is what I live for and has made me a better person, though I am still struggling with patience. I feel beyond blessed to be able to raise two beautiful, smart, precious girls and though some days are a challenge I would not change a thing.
Health- I'll admit this is one that I tend to take for granted but after hearing of losses in a few friends life's, I am so thankful for not only having my health but also having a healthy family. I am thankful that, with the exception of a few minor problems, I was able to carry two healthy babies to term and have two safe, complication-free deliveries and that those two babies have thrived and grown without as much as an ear infection!
A roof over our heads; While this one has certainly been hard at times I am so thankful for the generosity Craig's parents have shown us in opening their home to us and the continuing to when those few months turned into a year. I didn't grow up near my Grandparents so I am so glad the girls have been able to spend lots of time with theirs!
Craig's Job Opportunities; Craig has moved from job to job since I met him but every time it has been to a bigger and better company where he is given more room for advancement. I am so thankful that he has a steady job where he can advance and that he make enough for me to stay home with our girls!
Being a Stay at Home Mom; I am so glad that I can stay home and raise the girls myself. I feel that this is the best thing Craig and I can give the girls, that one of us is able to always be with them, to teach them new things, keep them safe and most importantly make sure they know the Lord. I love being able to be there for all their firsts and usually be able to snap a picture to show Craig.
The Lord has blessed us in so many ways and I am soo Thankful!
