Recipe for a Military Wife

I have not answered the email about S2's birthday. Honestly, with all I had going on this weekend, I forgot.

I did send DH an email on Saturday evening, from the kids.

Dear Daddy--

Thank you so much for sending our names in for the Christmas party. We had a lot of fun!

D5 got two Bratz dolls. S2 got Hot Wheels cars and a little Black and Decker tool set. D9 got a $15 Wal-Mart gift card, a large velvet Pooh coloring set, and a foil art.

We made crafts, made cards, ate hotdogs, macroni and cheese, and lots of cookies.


We miss you, come home soon!

Love D5, D9, and S2

First thing Sunday morning, I got the following:

Hey guys!!

I just saw an email with a link to some of the pictures!! I think I saw you in one of them D5. It’s very hard to make out but it looked like you were wearing a burgundy&white dress with black dress shoes!! Was that you? I’m glad you had a good time and each of you got a gift while you were there.

It sounds like you had a good time though and the food must have been good. Daddy has eaten too many cookies since he’s been on the ship. I’m going to look like Santa Claus soon if I don’t stop eating them!!

Have you told Santa what you want for Christmas yet? Are you guys going to have any snow? ARE YOU EXCITED!?

HO HO HO!!!

Deck the halls with sounds of S2
Fa la la la la..la la…la…..la

D9 plays with silly puddy
Fa la la la la..la la…la…..la

D5’s acting really nutty
Fa la la..la la la…la …la….la

D17 locks up everybody
Fa la la la la… la….la…..la……la

That was fun. I love you guys and I’ll call you soon.
Love,
Daddy

SIGH

So, to be nice, I sent pictures from the party of the kids with Santa. No letter, just the pictures.

I then get the following this morning:

Thank you for the pictures!! They look great. Talk about sprouting over the past few months. It’s either a photographic illusion or they’ve grown, a lot! Take care.

Whatever. I am not going to answer it. It does not require one.

Church was wonderful yesterday--I wish they videoed the sermons, cause the skit was a riot! My house is almost completely cleaned, most of the decorations are out, I pick up the tree tonight, and we will decorate it on Wednesday. Some baking tonight and tomorrow, as I have some rednecks and cornhuskers desperate for decent cookies!

Have a blessed day and believe in the power of the Lord to sustain and comfort you when you feel like you can't go on. It is then that he will carry you.
