Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve- it is a day full of such wonderful memories and fun. However, I woke up today a little sad, missing my dad so very much. Him and I shared a lot of fun special memories on Christmas Eve together. He always had to work in the morning but would come zooming home around 4 or so(sometimes later). We would rush back to my room and he would have a bag full of gifts for me to wrap. Mom always had a list of things we needed to get done before the party but this was daddy and I's few minutes of laughter and fun together before we had to get busy. I miss that time.alot. I decided after shedding some tears today that I better head out for a run to have a little talk with him & God. I am always thankful for those talks but so wish that I could have him running beside me- I am certain that if anyone drove by and heard me talking they would think I had lost it!
 We have our Christmas Eve party tonight and it was one of daddy's favorite things too. He loved having everyone here and enjoyed watching everyone in awe over Santa that would make his visit. However, just before everyone got here he usually decided to either clean out his sock drawer, brush the dogs, or take a nap. Too funny. I miss him and those fun silly things he did.
 Gavin got home last night and I am so glad. I have really missed him too. Nathan and him did some 'male bonding' today and went to see a movie while mom and I got things ready for tonight. We are supposed to have a white Christmas here and I really hope soo!!
 After our party tonight we are heading to church for Christmas Eve service, another thing that loved. I am learning now that it was because he got a good nap in! haha
 Nathan and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! May God bless you with wonderful memories with your families. We are so thankful for all of our family and friends.

Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday Jesus!!
