Well it's Christmas Eve, I've been looking forward to the Celebrations we had planned for months and our little girls have been struck down with a horrible cold. We have been battling fevers, body aches and colds for 3 days now. Earlier today we made the decision to cancel the visiting we had planned with family members and to miss our Candle Church Service with much sadness. ...this sadness and irritability set in for a bit then I acknowledged it and moved on. Out came family time!! We have ...
