I am writing this blog via our wireless laptop!!!!! How fun is that??! We were blessed with a new laptop this Christmas and my generous parents had an extra wireless router that they gave to us to use. Not only can we do without the internet cable but our laptop is able to actually hold a charge and we only have to plug it in to recharge the battery.
I love the new background on the blog. It makes me happy every time I log on.
Jon starts his class tomorrow.
Emma says "ello" instead of "hello" and almost sounds british when she says it. I ask her to say it all the time because it's so fun to hear.
I don't like the movie "Avatar" but I love spending time with the girls so it was still worth the price of the movie ticket.
Emma has mastered getting on and off her rocking horse and rocks so hard that I wonder if she will flip the whole thing over.
I start my "tax season" hours tomorrow. I'm glad for the job and even more glad the longer hours still aren't full time and that they only last for about 3 months.
Emma sleeps through the night. My body is remembering how to do the same.
Our pastor reminded us today that "God is near, which means here. He is for me; He will never leave me, He will never forsake me. God loves me." I hope to own these statements in 2010!

Costumes and cut-out cookies
Megan has such a great imagination. She asked us to make and wear costumes when we went to Mom's house to make Christmas cookies a few weeks ago. Mom was a Christmas tree salesperson, Chris was a Christmas tree, and Jess was Mary (Emma stood in as baby Jesus). Megan made her costume and Silas' costume. Silas was Spiderman, and Megan was a nurse. I was Frosty the Snowman. (Complete with a button nose.) Here's to Megan for keeping us creative and playful. Oh, and the cookies turned out yummy too!
Merry Christmas
We had a wonderful Christmas! Megan and Silas enjoyed their trampoline (along with all their other fun toys) and Emma liked her new tent and her own Emma-sized chair. We played outside while Grampie lit the luminaries,
ate a lot and loved being together with our family. Of course, we never want to forget the very best gift of all- Jesus. His sacrifice started by trading angels that worshipped Him for people who betrayed Him. It led to a cross and a tomb but to everyone's saving grace it didn't end there. The best Christmas gift is the chance to be forgiven and have communion and everlasting life with God. I
am so very blessed and thankful that our families know and love the Lord.

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.'
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'"
