Traditions and Milestones.......

Last Sunday we put up the tree, not a big deal for some....
but for team LRVN, it is a huge part of the Christmas tradition.
I made a huge mistake, we actually went to get the tree without the kids!
We were trying to use our time wisely...
All was forgiven and we had a fun day. This year was especially great for me,
I got to hold Max while the kids put the ornaments on the tree, laughing, making fun of the silly ornaments and keeping the tradition of
"voting an ornament off the tree"!

I am truly blessed.........

Today, a milestone! Kacy graduated from the University of North Texas
after a long, long, long and difficult season of school. She wanted to quit so many times, but continued to plug away and today, she reaped the reward of her hard work and perseverance!
I was never so proud of her.
She is exceptional and has overcome so much. I believe her comment at dinner, though serious, marks how we all feel about the day. She said, "Not only did I think I would never finish school, I didn't think I would live long enough to do it"....that says it all.

God has been so faithful to us..........

Merry Christmas to you!
