It's a Wonderful Life

Merry Christmas Eve!

Brad and I have already titled this Christmas as our best one ever -- and it hasn't even officially arrived, yet! We have so enjoyed the season and have seen EVERY member of our family on the Hobbs/Ford side this year, which has never happened before. We are feeling incredibly blessed. I know that word can be overused, but it is really the only way to begin to describe how we feel. Thank you, God, for you are the source of all good things.

We just returned from a wonderful and meaningful day with Scott, Nancy, and David. We were all spoiled rotten with gifts and more importantly, good fellowship. Here's a sneak preview of Brooke with her new heirloom -- a baby cradle very lovingly handmade by Scott. It's absolutely the most beautiful one that I've ever seen. It's solid red oak and rocks beautifully. The brass plaque on the front reads, "Brooke, 2006." Brooke is absolutely enthralled by it and had a great time putting babies in both and being a precious little mommy to her beloved babies. She also loves being a baby herself, as you can see! That's Scott rocking the cradle behind her. Thank you SO much, Granddaddy!



Our hearts are so full and we are so very grateful and happy. We're very much looking forward to our upcoming visit to Lexington to see our beloved Kentucky and Arkansan folks.

I hope that Santa will reward all of your year's good behavior tonight! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
