So, where do I start and how do I sum up the past couple months in a few short paragraphs? Let me try...
Thanksgiving was awesome and as it always is, such a meaningful holiday. So much to be thankful for and although we certainly don't need a "special" day to reflect on things, it is always nice to have the family together and share our thoughts.
Then we visited with Santa at the mall. Although Maddie was quite unsure when she sat on Santa's lap by herself, she found comfort having her big brothers by her side!
We were fortunate to spend a good part of December in the magical place of Disney World! Dreams do come true! We had a wonderful vacation and made so many memories that will last a lifetime! We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to go and especially with the kids Nana & Papa joining us. It was an emotional vacation, as it was the place Devin & Jacob found out they were going to be big brothers, & Nana & Papa found out they were going to be Papa & Nana to another special child. We talked about what the next family vacation to Disney would be like, but little did we know then exactly how special it would be!
Enjoy some of these photos...they are just a glimpse of our time...I took 1154 pictures! That was what I had left AFTER I went through them all. Am I a crazy photo nut??

Why yes...we had such a wonderful time on our vacation. It is hard to believe it has past, but I always have 1154 pictures to look back on anytime I want to re-live those days! :)
We got back just in time for Christmas. Maddie's 2nd Christmas and she was much more into it this year of course. The boys always wanted to help with her presents, and they were so excited for her. They are just amazing brothers to her.
One of Maddie's favorite gifts of the night...a dancing Mickey!

Ringing in the New Year! Maddie was fast asleep...I need to PhotoShop her in.Maddison will be 18 Months in a couple days. Her check up went well, and our pediatrician thinks she looks great! We do too of course! She is a little peanut, weighing 21 pounds, 8 ounces, but is 33 inches tall!!!! Maybe I have a future model on my hands?
Well, we ended 2008 with a bang. Sure...we had our hardships, as everyone does, but through it all we become a stronger, closer, happier family. God has a way of making everything work out. All in His Great Perfect Plan! For 2009...we wish you all health & blessings beyond measure. But most of all...happiness! Enjoy life, Live more, Laugh Louder, & Love Deeper!
We Love You All!
The Watson's
Jeff, Nicole, Devin, Jacob, & Maddison
"LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE."
