CHRISTMAS!

Christmas this year was amazing!  As always, we celebrated Christmas Eve at my parents house and Christmas day with Charlie's family.  We then headed to Victoria to spend the weekend with the Dworsky family.  It was very exciting to think that this time next year will be our first Christmas to celebrate with Annie Grace.  I can't wait!!

The Sunday before Christmas Charlie and I officially joined Kerrville Bible Church.  Our church family is wonderful and we are so blessed to be part of such an incredible body of faith.  This made Christmas this year all the more meaningful. 

Some of my favorite gifts were a Wii, Keurig coffee maker, Willow Tree nativity set, jewelry armoir, and my most favorite was a song dedicated to me by my Dad. (Ill explain with the pictures)

Here are some of my favorite shots from the Holidays.
Tis' the Season to be Pregnant is what my shirt says!
Beautiful family.
Towards the end of the night, my Dad gave me a CD entitled "Flyboy" with songs by Elliot Park.  I had no idea who the artist was but inside he said that track number 16 was especially for me; however, there was no track 16 listed. He put it in and it was Elliot Park singing "I Loved Her First."  Many people do not know but Elliot Park was the one who wrote this song and sold it to Tim McGraw to record since he wasn't a big star. I tried to find him singing it to upload on here but I couldn't.  I like his version much better than Tim McGraws.  Of course, my Dad and I have always had a special relationship and this song made me melt to tears!  As I started thinking about how we are about to have a little girl, I got even more emotional of the idea of Charlie and sweet Annie having a similar relationship like my Dad and I have shared for 25 years.

They are so excited about Annie and I love it.  One story I have to share is that we were sitting at the breakfast table one morning and Bailey was talking about Annie Grace.  I don't remember exactly what she was saying but out of nowhere, Ryan (who doesn't talk as much) said, "If Annie Grace were here right now, we would play with her!"  It was priceless!
