Ryen's Room

On Christmas Eve we loaded up the car with gifts and went to visit a few people from our church. Our first visit was to see an elderly woman living in a nursing home. We brought her some jewelry. Nothing special, just some things my mom and I pulled together. You would have thought we gave her a set of the queen's diamonds! She just beamed and was so very happy. Another couple from our church had also visited her that day. She told us it was the best Christmas she has ever had. What a humbling experience! We also went to see another family who had no money for food or gifts this Christmas. The girls were so sweet unpacking Santa's bag and placing all of the gifts we picked out beneath their small tree. The spirit in the air was so touching and I was glad our children were able to be a part of that.

Our little family had a really wonderful Christmas this year! Seeing Ryen's and Madelyn's beautiful little faces all lit up with excitement and delight was by far my favorite gift. Another favorite gift was just having my mom here with us. We have been so blessed.
