Holiday Recap 2011

We celebrated Christmas Eve at our house and hosted my immediate family.  After everyone was gone we got ready for Santa's arrival.   We left him chocolate chip cookies and a note.  Miles said he and uncle Toby saw him earlier hiding behind the shrubs waiting for us to go to bed!!!  When we woke up on Christmas morning Santa had arrived indeed.  Miles got a Thomas The Train Table and Chair Set, a microphone, an MU football, clothes, sesame street high tops and a book.  His gift from Santa was the microphone which was the one item he had asked for from him.  It was a great morning at the Trussells.

Christmas Day was spent with the Trussell Family down at the farm.  We had a wonderful day with great weather.  The kids enjoyed playing outside and we enjoyed laughing and visiting with each other.  Mike's parents winter in Arizona but since it was their year to host Christmas they came back for ten days. 

Christmas evening we went to my parents house and enjoyed more visiting and gift opening.  Needless to say I am very grateful to be able to go to my parents which is the house I grew up in.  After my mom's serious medical issues this year it really puts a perspective on what's important.  Jesus is the "REASON FOR THE SEASON" and although the food, presents and parties are great I really enjoyed our evenings at home enjoying Miles and feeling grateful for the life we have.  We hope you all had a great Christmas Season.
