Happy Birthday Jesus AND Granddaddy Bob!



Christmas morning we headed over to Granddaddy Bob's and Sayjay's house! We had so much fun opening presents and spending time with family! Rush and I were so excited to unwrap a Wii and WiiFit!! We are still having so much fun with that present! Of course, Olivia is absolutely still enjoying her new kitchen too! Rush had to put it together when we got home Christmas night so I will post pics of Olivia enjoying her new kitchen soon!

We had so many reasons to celebrate on Christmas day! First of all, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a great reminder of God's love for us that He would send His son to ultimately die for our sins. The ultimate picture of love. It's so humbling to think about!

Also, it meant so much to us that we could celebrate another year of Granddaddy Bob's life! This year we were not only celebrating another year of his life, but also the amazing man, father, husband, granddad, and father in law he is. I have been amazed watching his strength, courage, and faith over this past year as he has been battling cancer. Not once have I seen or heard anything negative from him about all that he has been through this year. It is so evident that his strength and courage to face each day with the positive attitude and fight to overcome this disease can only be from God alone. Whether you know it or not, Granddaddy Bob, you are living your faith out every day and while doing so you are touching so many lives. So, on this day, there is so much more to celebrate than a birthday...
