New Year, New Beginnings

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to 2009! Our family has celebrated like no other time I can remember. Things that made Christmas 2008 special:
1. Joe was in town for two full weeks, and he worked from home for a few hours on a few days, but other than that, he was just "dad." It was great!
2. Chloe had no gym workouts for the entire break! Thank you, Jesus.
3. Watching Emmy's face Christmas morning. There is nothing like the awestruck wonder of a 3 year old who absolutely believes. I loved it. After changing her wish list as she sat on Santa's lap at the mall, she was thrilled to find the originally requested items under the tree. Again, props to Jesus for that little blessing!
4. Ross read 2 instruction manuals, cover to cover, and was able to build the entire Lego Star Destroyer BY HIMSELF.
5. Celebrating with family at the Gaylord Texan the Saturday night before Christmas. Fun, fun, fun. Yummy food, lots to do, and beautiful surroundings. LOVED it.
6. Celebrating in Temple with Ginger & her family the weekend after Christmas. The kids had a great time together, and so did the grownups!

That is pretty much the wrap-up of Widner Christmas 2008. We look forward to the blessings of the New Year!!!
