Christmas Commercials
Do you have any family or friends that will be far away for the holidays? This commercial from Hallmark gets me everytime. It's the grandmother reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the two little girls and it's very sweet. What a great present for a loved one that you won't get to see this holiday?

Freedom doesn't come free...
One of the best "military" stories that I have ever heard came from one of my dear friends Patti Clement. Her daughter Katie was dating a soldier several years ago who was coming home from Iraq and stopping here in Knoxville, TN to see her first. They went to the airport to pick him up and as they were riding the elevator to the parking garage they were greeted by an elderly couple. The man immediately saluted Katie's boyfriend who was in his army dress. He shook his hand and told him that he was a veteran and would've loved to have been over there with him.
Freedom does not come free...And I am proud of my grandfather: Clifford Arnold Monk, Chad's dad: Robert Earl Cox, Chad's cousin: Todd Cox and our dear friends Ryan McGlothlin and Joe Davis (who is still serving), and countless and nameless others who have fought and are fighting everyday for my freedom and for the free lives of my children. The words Thank You are never enough but please know we Thank You today and are blessed because of the path's that you have chosen to take....

Is it too early to write letters to Santa? My kids sure don't think so! The moment the sale catalogs started coming in the mail, Brody was hooked! He has been pouring over the ads from Toys-R-Us and Target for at least 2 weeks picking out what he wanted! Then last Thursday we needed a project so we got out the scissors and started cutting! The kids showed me what to cut out and then we taped them on our Santa letters so he would know EXACTLY what they wanted! Molly even included the boys on her page when she asked for a Leapster in pink and 2 green ones for the boys. Also, notice that Molly wrote out all her own stuff - including Dear Santa, Love Molly and it's hard to see but she is dying for a Strawberry Shortcake Cafe and wrote it out herself too! She is such a smart little lady and I am so proud of her! (Sorry the pictures are so difficult to see)
And then this morning my smart little cookie stood in the kitchen for at least 5+ minutes and watched the coffee drip out of the coffee pot - ha ha!!
