Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a wonderful year for the Barbosa family and the Ferrin family. Above you can see that the highlights were Ted returning from his Croatia mission and the latest, Sam and Meagan's little girl "Gracie Mae" arrived at the first of the month. She is the most precious little thing I've ever seen and it's so neat to see them as parents. It also makes me so excited for our little one to come in March! I'm not sure I love being pregnant during the holidays- I am seriously looking too much like Santa Clause and even funnier I totally crave cookies and milk all the time! Ha! Each time I catch a side glance of my "voluptuous" bod in the mirror or a window as I'm out and about before I let out a gasp, I just remember how wonderful it is that I am expecting a little baby! :) And it truly is wonderful.
I feel so blessed reflecting back on the year. Such a wonderful husband, daughter, family, friends, job, home, health I enjoy. I couldn't ask for a better Christmas present than all I have been given! I hope you take a minute in between all your busy things going on (I know I've had to make a conscious effort to do so!) and enjoy the wonderful holiday season and all your blessings.
