Good-bye 2008!

We have had such a busy December it came and went so fast. Makaylee had her first Christams recital for Pre-School and did a great job. I was a little worried she would get stage fright, but not our Makaylee she was at ease on stage. Matt thinks she should play sports, but everyone else thinks she is destined for the theatre. I forgot my camera that night (I know, I know) but here are a few pics others took.





Matt's Grandpa was sick in the hospital that night and took a turn for the worst. This started our world wind of a month. Grandpa Howard passed away two days later surrounded by the family. Grandpa Howard is greatly missed! Here are pics of the family at the viewing.



We didn't have much time to think about Christmas that was just around the corner, but we were excited to spend time with our family on both sides and enjoy this special time of year.

Now another cute story from the life of Makaylee...

I was explaining to Makaylee how Christmas was Jesus' birthday and she said "Mom, I bet Grandpa Howard is helping Jesus blow out his candles in Heaven!" I can't believe how smart she is.

Christmas pics to come!
