Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!! Christmas was busy but good and hard. We had a good day but really missed my mom. Christmas isn't the same without her. One of my friends shared this poem with me and I wanted to share it-

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

We love you mom and miss you so much! We wish you were here with us in person. I still don't believe this really happened to us and I would really like to know why. I struggle and miss you everyday. I love you and can't wait to see you again.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas...











Brock is HOME!!!!




Brock is FINALLY home!!! yay!! I can't believe his 2 years has come and gone. We are so happy to have him home, even though I'm sure it is hard for him! He came home to so many different changes. We are so proud of him and what he accomplished in the 2 years he was gone. It was a bittersweat day getting him from the airport. The day my mom dreamed of!! It was really hard not having her there in person but I am sure she was still there, even if we couldn't see her. We had a busy day, Brock flew in at 10, we went and ate at Crown Burger (a Wilson family favorite) then went home so Brock could be released then we headed back to Salt Lake to Grandpa and Grandma Rigby's Christmas party! It was a great day! We love you Brock and are glad to have you home!!
