Good Morning all,
Happy Anniversary David and Vonda, how many years?  Steve, Teresa, Helen and Jesse, and Ruthie all stopped by yesterday.  Lonnie stopped in this morning.  Danny is sleeping in his recliner because he can't lay down.  He is still in a great deal of pain.  This morning he was coughing and something happened to the opposite side in the rib area.  But he was in a tremendous amount of pain and nothing seemed to help.  He is still on oxygen.  His levels drop pretty quickly still.  So the most he is off of it is if he goes to the bathroom.  Tanner went home last night, he, Emily and Zac have finals this coming week.  I have been trying to put away my Haloween and fall decorations so I can get out some Christmas decorations!  I think we are going to put up a real tree this year so when the kids get done with school I am going to send them on the hunt for one.  If I buy an artificial one, I never take it down!  I would love to know what everyones plans are for Christmas.  If Danny feels up to it, we will go to Helen and Jesses for Christmas eve after the Candlelight service at church.  Then Zac's dad is preaching at our church on Christmas day so we hope to go and then we will have christmas here with the kids and watch football!  I miss the excitement and wonder of Christmas when my kids were little so I want to hear all about the little ones and how they are enjoying all of it!  I have seen pictures of Clara and Brooks making Christmas cookies, and Marleigh decorating her tree.  Janet what about Olivia and Kaiden?  would love to see some pictures!  Emma  has been visiting me the last couple weeks so I am enjoying Christmas through her eyes!  I have to share this story that her Grandma Susan shared with me.  Susan took Emma to see Santa at the mall and Emma told him what she wanted for Christmas:  books and dresses:)  After she left and they continued their shopping Emma stopped and exclaimed, Mamaw!  I forgot to tell Santa about the high heels!     I thought that was so funny.  I have another Emma story to share.  Around thanksgiving I was babysitting her and we were getting ready for a nap.  I asked her what she was thankful for.  After much thought she started telling me.  Of course I was expecting, toys, dolls etc., but she said and in this order, I am thankful for Mommy and Daddy, my "brudders", my friends, and for Jesus because He died on the cross for my sins.  Needless to say I didn't know quite what to say after she said that.  Not expecting that from a 4 year old. 
Love and Prayers to all,
Trish
