Well, today is December 1st, and I woke up to find myself extremely homesick. I feel like I got through Thanksgiving pretty well, but Christmas is going to be rough. I didn't realize how many family traditions I would be missing. About this time, I should be starting the process of watching every Christmas movie ever made with my brother and sister. If I was home right now, I would be planning Winter Fun Vol. 5. I would be baking a lot. I would be decorating the tree with my mom out at the ranch. It would be chilly outside instead of 100 degrees. sigh...what I would give to be sitting in the living room with Steph and Andrew watching Muppet Christmas Carol.
Here's some questions for those of you who still read this thing:
1. what is your favorite Christmas movie?
2. what is your favorite Christmas tradition?
3. describe your favorite ornament
4. how much do you miss me?

let's see favorite movie would be christmas vacation, muppet christmas carol, and the santa clause.
favorite tradition would be going to Katz's on christmas eve with mommy, spending the night with you and andrew and waking up christmas morning.
my favorite ornament is the snoopy one or the bubbletape one you made when you were little lol.
AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH. Christmas isn't christmas without you. it doesn't really feel like christmas at all......i am sad now. love you sister!!
My favorite Christmas movie is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...but it's funniest when I am watching it with all of you... I love hearing you laugh.
My favorite tradition...like Steph...is going to Katz's...even though the food isn't the best...it's the fun of going and seeing if Marc Katz remembers us.
My favorite ornaments are the ones each of you kids made. I get teary eyed each time I get them out of the box...realizing how much time has passed...and how it's passed so quickly.
I miss you more than you know. It's like the Snoopy puzzle we do at least once a year... It just isn't complete unless all the pieces are there. Right now...we have a puzzle with the last piece missing...you. I know all of us are missing you a lot this year. Each one of you kids make Christmas unique and special. Without one of your here...it feels like it's not complete.
Even so...I am so proud of you for being obedient to God's call on your life. The Lord will complete each of us this Christmas... He will fill in the gaps until we can be together again.
I love you so much!
Mom
