Ho! Ho! Ho!

It is unbelievable that it was this time last year that Michael and I were sharing the news to the family that we were pregnant. And now fast forward to Christmas 2006, I survived nine months of pregnancy, took a month-long trip to the Philippines, had two great baby showers, enjoyed the company of family and friends on their visits to Colorado, and best of all I had my little Alex. It truly has been a blessed year. Yes, there have been many heart-breaks along the way none of which I will divulge but I firmly believe that it has only made us stronger. It is in our belief in God that has allowed us to plow through the hard times. There has been many tears shed this year but our faith in God has not faltered. We face 2007 stronger and more capable to face our problems and our fears. I want to applaud my family for their support and devotion. They are not only there for the joys and successes but are always on your side through the hard times. I always think to myself how Alex is so lucky to have such wonderful individuals surrounding him as he grows up. I know that he will always have someone to lean on whether he has a had a bad day at school or suffering through his own dilemmas as a teenager (ack! can we just skip through that phase?) and as an adult. On a lighter note, we took some adorable pictures of Alex in his santa suit! Merry Christmas everyone!
