Christmas Pics, first battle wound, and an update!!

DISCLAIMER: I have just uploaded a TON of pictures! Don't feel bad if you don't want to look at them all, but at least look at the last two. Also, all of the pictures from Christmas morning are on Kenny's mom's camera. I will get them from her this weekend.

Brayden's first battle wound. It was caused by her brother, but I am happy to report it was an accident. I would much rather her first "boo boo" to be be accident rather than vengence!!
She is still a happy baby!!

I wish I had the pictures from Christmas morning of the kids opening their gifts. Brayden got some clothes and new toys, while Kennan got lots of toys! Kenny made off with some new books and movies, while I got some stationary, books, and bath stuff. We had a great Christmas and it was fun to celebrate it with Kennan this year. He was a lot more aware of what was going on and understood the meaning behind it all. He had fun singing "Silent Night" by candlelight at church and reminding us of "Go Tell it on the Mountain" while in the bathtub and shower. We are looking forward to the next few weeks in Texas. We plan on spending lots of time with friends and family. Kenny is even preaching a few times and Brayden is going to get baptized at the end of January (if you want more details about that, let me know). An update on my cousin Stephen...he had surgery on Christmas night and it went really well. He should be back at his apartment by now, under the care of his mom...the rest of his family flew back this morning. We hope to send him a gift today and continue to pray for his healing.
