Debi's Crazy Life;

Once again blogger ate my post and failed to deliver as scheduled on Tuesday morning.  Sorry about that.  Maybe my new years resolution should be to check my blog more frequently... Good morning all.  Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas.  For us it was wonderful with a large portion of the family gathered around us, still sad that some couldn't join us, but wonderful never the less.  It was fun to see the delight of the littles and the bigs alike Christmas morning and to join with our church family Christmas Eve at candlelight service.  Now we are enjoying the school break, playing with our new toys and enjoying a bit of snow.  Blessings all!
