Santa Found Our House Afterall!

We had it all planned out- how we were going to tell the kids that Santa just didn't know where we lived, so we would probably have to wait until the next night when we could email him and tell him we were here.
But much to ALL of our surprise- Santa found us afterall.... This was the sight we saw when we walked into our new home- not only was Christmas there and waiting for us, but our home was fully furnished, and all ready to be lived in. Such a priceless gift was being able to spend this time with our family, and feeling the love and support and Spirit that they bring into our lives. It was incredible. I will never forget the feelings of gratitude I felt at that moment. I wish I knew EXACTLY who to thank for each and every wonderful blessing- but you know who you are I guess- Thank you!


What a great feeling to have our family with us. So wonderful- thanks everyone for sacrificing your Christmas morning to pick us up from the airport, and then spend the afternoon as well- sure felt nice.


The kids were only a little surprised that Santa had found our new house :) Charity says that "Sydney must have told him" :) Since Sydney is the one who "picked out such a nice house for us :)"


It's so fun to see our kids with their grandparents and cousins again- I missed that so much in Alaska. There is just something about a hug from your uncle or aunt that can't be matched anywhere else.


We did have to take a break from opening presents to take a little four hour nap :) But what a great Christmas it was- we even had a nice Christmas dinner. Who woulda thought it would be such a great day. I had thought that we would be sitting on our luggage still, waiting for the next day so that we could get gifts and things for the kids. Sure was neat to have a place to sit, sleep, and lots to play with and do. Thank you again EVERYONE!! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well.
