You would think by the time your parents are grandparents and your the age you always thought was older when you were a kid, your little brother would for sure not tease you anymore Christmas morning......or your brothers would stop hiding your dinner plate full of food when you aren't looking. No matter how many times growing up they have done this I never seem to remember to keep an eye on my food while I am getting my drink to go with my dinner. I guess we never really outgrow who we are when we are with our family, and I have to admit I love all the silliness that goes on when we are all together. This Christmas was the sweetest because we got to spend it with Judah and he was the center of it all. I actually was excited to see what new toys he would get because secretly I know I will get to play them with him. All in all we had the best Christmas because we all got to be together and that's how we like it. I don't think I will ever outgrow the excitement of Christmas or wondering what gifts will be under the tree in the morning or will I ever outgrow being silly with my brothers or teasing my brother right back.

HOMELESS AND HUNGRY...


Going thru the drivethru today on my lunchbreak I saw a homeless woman digging thu the trashcan. She was digging pretty vigorously. I just watched her in fascination and agony all at the same time. By the time i left the drivethru she was gone, but on my way out of the shopping center I saw her again digging thru another trashcan. She seemed to be coming up empty. I felt compelled by God to give her some money and so I did. She took it gladly and with a smile on her weatherd face. After she walked away I sat in my car and cried. I just felt so sad for her. I sat there thinking why didn't i do something else for her? It made realize that everyday I go home to a nice plush roof over my head and i sleep in a soft cozy bed. I have a family who loves me and would never let me go hungry or become homeless. I wonder where her family is? I wonder if she has any friends? So I will remember her and pray that somehow she is safe and warm tonight.

I am finally going to show off the cutest pictures of my nephew Judah. He is my favorite person in the whole world and it's about time I put some pictures of him on my blog. I got these pictures from my brother's family blog because I don't have very many pictures of him saved on my computer. I really need to get a new camera since I don't own one. Every camera I have ever had I have lost.
Judah is such a great nephew and he is such a boy. He has lots of energy and he is really "tough". Sometimes he bonks his head hard and he never cries. He is so happy all of the time, except when he doesn't feel well. I got to spend some time watching him last week and I had so much fun with him because he is so amazing!
