A new year dawns....

Happy New Year! Can you believe it's already 2008?

Our Christmas week went by in a blur...a fun and busy blur!

*My parents and brother were here for several days for Christmas. We had a fun time with them, playing games, went bowling and just hanging out. We also had Kenny's Mom with us this for Christmas. This was the first time Kenny had spent Christmas with her in 19 years!

*We went Christmas caroling on the Sunday night before Christmas at Heritage Estates in Livermore (an assisted living facility) and that was a huge blessing to talk with some of the elderly people who live there. They were so happy to have us sing for them; they especially loved the children!

*Friday the 28th, I went with my friend Sue to San Francisco to see the Nutcracker Ballet! We took Lizzy, Sue's daughter Emmy and another girlfriend Kelsey on BART. It was a COLD day, but God blessed us with no rain and safety. And, believe it or not after living here for over 10 years, that was my very FIRST ride on BART!

*Last night we had our annual New Year's Eve Party with 30+ of our dearest friends. We had a funny hat contest (congratulations to Kate for her creative hat - the winner!) It was a great time!

*Today we took Christmas down...tree, lights, and all the decor. The kids are always sad, but it was a good month.

Now we start a new year...I love the start of a new year; a fresh slate!


This Saturday, Kenny and Nathan will be leaving for Mississippi for their mission trip for Hurricane Katrina Relief. Don't forget to check their blog (listed on our sidebar - Serving the Lord in Lakeshore) for day to day information! We are hoping they will have internet access to blog for us who stay at home.


Hope everyone had a Happy New Year, and may God Bless America in the year to come!

I'll post some pictures soon!
