Tonight our family gathered at our home to celebrate Christmas just a little bit early. We did that because Troy and Kori are going to be in California for the holidays and the kids wanted to open their presents to each other and Troy and Kori also didn't want to haul all their gifts to California with them. I made some apple crisp for desert and it hit the spot. Had a little dab of vanilla ice-cream on top to make it just right.
As we all sat in our family room laughing and having a good time I was looking around at each member of our family. I was thinking to myself how lucky and blessed I am to have such wonderful children and grandchildren and husband. I couldn't ask for anything better. Family is what life is all about. I"m so thankful that we all get along so well, that we live so close by each other and that our love and concern for one another is so evident. No matter what, we are always there for one another. Whether it's to help someone move, give a ride, babysit, give blessings or to fast for someone in need. We are all right there to help out. I truly am so blessed and I thank my Heavenly Father every night for all that he has given me.
