Christmas 2008

This Christmas was such a joyful season. We enjoyed spending time with family, good food and making special memories. We had a great time watching Emma actively participate in the festivities; from making cookies to decorating the tree with Pooh Bear ornaments. This year she really understood about gifts and as most 3 year olds do thought, she they were all for her. It was so much fun seeing the excitement on her face when she was given a gift. She was able to unwrap them with only a little assistance. It was great to see her progress from last Christmas.
This season, we were blessed abundantly by family and friends who are dear to our hearts. We are so thankful for you all and your generosity. The Spirit of Christmas touched our hearts in ways we didn't know possible.

Praise the Lord you were able to celebrate the Lord's birth in such great fashion. Alissa, you look great and Emma is adorable as always. Mark, you look amazingly "put together" for all the added responsibilities you have right now! We know you are both trusting the Lord for strength and comfort/wisdom day by day. . .you are our heroes! Praying that 2009 will be the most special year of your lives as you infanticipate and also watch your precious Emma develop into quite the little girl! So proud of all of you and pray for you daily! Hugs from both of us,
Uncle Bob and Auntie Pris
