We had our good friends the Brennan's over for our annual tradition where we have dinner and exchange gifts. For whatever reason we got off track for a few years, but are now back to it. The kids had fun exchanging toys from their own toy boxes and playrooms. It was too funny and way cute. I made a few discoveries as I spent time with this great family. I realized that our kids aren't babies anymore. At least not most of them. I remember when their oldest girls were just babies. It amazed me as I watched them how quickly time passes us by. I also discovered that a doll we have in our toy box is Chris' twin (check out the pic) this was funny/creepy, and I can't believe I hadn't realized this sooner. I also discovered that when I met Tammy I was only 24 and I absolutely look 8 years older, but she doesn't. Oh well, some things are out of our control I guess. Most of all though, I discovered that friends are a part of life that should exist for anyone and everyone. I am grateful to them for being the people they are. I am grateful for all my good friends and the strength they give me to keep trudging forward!! Merry Christmas Brennan's until next year. :)
