Merry CHRISTmas 2008!

Yesterday, we are sitting at the kitchen table and Charley tells the kids, "You know, we don't have a lot of money for Christmas presents this year...so this is all we can afford."
He then hands the kids each a refrigerator letter magnet. He told them to put them on the table. Kristina said,"It spells God" to which Joshua replied (Joshua was across from Kristina) "It spells DOG". At this point all the kids are looking at Charley with a questioning look. "A DOG? Are you serious?" Caleb said, "You can't be serious!" Yep , we are getting a dog! Don't know when at the moment...there is one that we are interested in..but we will see what dog the Lord has for us. Needless to say the kids are ecstatic!



Today we had the Williams side Christmas. My Grandma, who is living at Bethesda for a little while, came and so did my Aunt Binky. I cooked a turkey and it turned out OK...I thought it was a little dry:(:(

The letters were a great idea! A little fun twist on a surprise! The kids will probably always remember that!

Wow! A dog! Luke says, "Why can't we get a dog??" He wants to come visit when your new addition arrives!
