The Thomas Herd

Merry Christmas!!!!
What a fast holiday season it has been! Between all the shopping and getting all the presents wrapped I couldn't wait to stay home and enjoy the season. The snow came falling by the inches and pilled up in no time. But all of my children traveld safe and sound and what fun it was to see my grandchildren open presents and play. Little Tessa is changing so much everyday and is still precious as ever. MaKenna love to dance to music everytime she hears it and loves to give dolls hugs and walk all over the house with them.
My missionaries also called. Jill is doing wonderful and is loving her mission. She is working hard and doing well with the spanish language. John called us the day after Christmas because they had the phone booths closed so he called the next morning. He is also doing well with the language and loves the work. They both are excited about the progress that has happened in our family with grandbabies and all. The day was filled with all kinds of surprises and good memories. Having by grandchildren and talking to my missionaries are all I need this Christmas season. The spirit and the love that comes from the true meaning of Christmas is such a blessing to have. I am grateful for the knowledge I have of my Savoir and the plan that Heavenly Father has for us. I know that the gospel is real and true. How grateful I am for the strength it give me. I love seeing my family live in true happiness and joy. Happy Holidays to all!
