December 26, 2008We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and Tiffani. We had a great time. I got in the kitchen and helped mom and Tiffani cook, and then we watched a couple of movies, one being Christmas Cottage, the story of Thomas Kinkade. It was wonderful! I suggest it to anyone who likes Thomas's work, Christmas Movies, or just a good all-around family movie with a Christmas air to it.
I love Christmas and as you can tell by my posts here, I spend much of the year preparing for it, because it has always been such a special time to me. We had really wanted to have our first child by this Christmas, or at least be pregnant by Christmas. We've been trying for about 16 months now, and after a corrective surgery and many months of doctors and treatments are seeing a new specialist next week. We had prayed that we would be pregnant by now, but we are still waiting on our miracle. Also, I have received several comments and emails from many friends and readers over the last few months and I want to thank you for all of your compliments and prayers for us.
So, in saying that, I had in the last couple of weeks dreaded Christmas a little... My brother and his wife are expecting, and it seems like everyone we know is expecting or just had a child. But, our family really helped make it a wonderful Christmas and helped me get my mind off of the fact that we weren't pregnant.I felt just like a kid again. One of the first packages I opened was a 25th Anniversary Cabbage Patch. She is so adorable. Cabbage Patches were my favorite toys when I was a girl. I always had one toting it around. I also got a Molly American Girl doll, another character that I loved when I was a girl.
Talk to you all soon!
