Bard Family Christmas 2008

Today we had the pleasure of having all of my family over for family Christmas. Though it has been a rather long year for all of us, we are still having a great time getting together. I enjoy seeing all of my nieces all together since I just love and adore all of them so much! And now that Danny & Kari are living here in Colorado, I get to see Abby & Jordan even more.
I have to say it was a little quieter than past family Christmas's, since Dad wasn't here to liven up the party, however, the kids still made plenty of noise. I am grateful for my family and the time we spend together.
We were also blessed with a short visit from Grandma Kris and Grandpa Larry. It has been hard knowing they are not just 15 minutes away since they moved to North-Eastern Colorado, but every chance we get to see them is a joy! We know how much they love our kids, since they drove 3 hours one evening to see Maddy perform in her Christmas Choir concert at school, then drove back home the same evening. That is some seriously dedicated Grandparents and we love them tremendously!

As we anxiously await Christmas morning, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
