Quick Christmas Recap
Tyler was off work this past week so that didn't leave a lot of time for blogging. We had a great Christmas and hope you all did as well. Holden got the electric guitar he asked santa for as well as some snow skis' to go with Tyler. Caleb doesn't really care about the holiday and was just happy doing his own thing and also getting horsie rides from daddy and grandpa. Tylers big surprise was from my parents--a snowblower!!! He has already used it, and loved it. My parents got me a cricut and I can't wait to finally break it out and see what it can do!!!

So NOT funny!!
The other night Tyler couldn't find the remote to the TV and he started pulling out the cushions on the couch and gasped. We found days and days of Holdens vitamins that he supposadly had eaten. I usually give them to him after dinner and then go do the dishes, and this is apparently where he would stash them. You can even see that some are "wet" he had put them in his mouth for me to see and then took them out. He hates the dinosaur ones but I had bought a 500 count bottle at Costco so he is going to have them for quite awhile. We now have to watch him eat them all!!!

The Twelve Days of Christmas--revised!!!
On the first day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a child with a disability.
On the second day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the third day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an ache in my heart and a heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the fourth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a tear in my eyes, an ache in my heart, and a heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the fifth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the sixth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the seventh day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the eighth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the ninth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: remarkable doctors, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the tenth day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: an appreciation of small accomplishments, remarkable doctors, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with disability.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, the good Lord gave to me: a sense of pride, an appreciation of small accomplishments, remarkable doctors, supportive friends, a sense of humor, a ray of hope, an unsuspected strength for the tear in my eyes and the ache in my heart and my heart full of love for my child with a disability.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the good Lord said to me: Reach out and SHARE your sense of pride, your appreciation of small accomplishments, your remarkable doctors, your supportive friends, your sense of humor, your ray of hope, your unsuspected strength for the tear in your eyes and the ache in your heart and your heart full of love for you child with a disability.
I never knew that joining the ranks of motherhood would lead me down the path of having a child with special needs. But the Lord knew what I needed in my life more than I did and sent me an angel in disguise. Caleb is a ray of sunshine in my life, he makes me smile and laugh all day long. He has brought a lot of heartache along with him, but double the joy which I would not change for the world. I just wish more people would take the time to get to know him for who he is and not what he looks and sounds like. I feel they would leave a better person from having known him. I know that I have been richly blessed by having the opportunity to be his mother.

Christmas Program
Calebs class had a cute christmas program. They invited all the parents in for a slide show of all they had done so far this school year. I had to leave in the middle of the slide show to go get Holden from school, but we returned and it was sadly over. The teachers made a very nice 2008 calendar for us all, they individulized them for each child. We then ate refreshments and took fun pictures.

Here Comes Santa Claus
Last night we had our ward christmas party and Santa came. He is awesome, we had him last year and he takes a lot of time with each kid and he looks real also. So it was a lot of fun for Holden to tell he wanted an electric guitar. Caleb just enjoyed watching his video.

SNOW SNOW SNOW
Holden could not wait to get out into the snow. This was our first snowfall last week, we have since received about a foot more. Which he loves.
