As Christmas inches closer and closer I think about...I still need to do this & this & this... All that has to be done will get done though! This is such a special time of year. I have been reflecting on the last year alot. Its been hard, but we have also seen and recieved so many blessings!! Our God is so great!
All of our family Christmas gatherings are going to be at our house this year, as it is to hard to get Chris in the car now and he has to stay out of the cold as much as possible. I am going to attempt to cook my first turkey! I've had it thawing in the fridge since Sunday on my Mom's advice. And I'm in charge of making the dressing as well. Pray for me! Lol! We are really looking forward to having so many loved ones in our home!
As for Brittany & Braxtons Christmas gifts, they are gonna be spoiled!! In early November I knew we were not going to be able to exchange many Christmas gifts with people this year, with 4 of us living off Social Security Disablility it was just not in the budget. So I sent out emails & messages telling family & friends. Two days later a dear friend sent me a message asking if her office could adopt our family for Christmas! She said to get the kids list together and they would take care of it all!! They even wrapped them and got Chris & I gifts!!! This is our tree after they delivered the gifts!
Of course the kids went crazy when they saw them!!! Thank you so much to my friend and her coworkers for their tremendous generoisty!!!!
The kids attend the Word of Faith Christian Academy in Alpine. It is a great school & we are so blessed to have them there! They both love their school.
Brittany is in 6th grade. She misses school when she is not there, well she misses her friends anyway! Braxton is in 1st grade. He is a little fire cracker for sure! He keeps us laughing!
The first week of November we got to go up to Branson! We had such a great time! Silver Dollar City is one of our favorite places on Earth! We got to go to SDC for 2 days and loved it! All the lights, trees, yummy food & the Wassil :)
I am no longer working much at all. I still rent tuxes or meet people at my shop when they need somthing. I will work for Valentines day though. Chris has to have constant care now, so I am needed at home with him. He can no longer do anyhting for hisself. He has to be dressed, feed and completely be taken care of by me. He only weighs about 120 pounds now. He can also not talk much at all. He tries but everything sounds the same. Communication with him is what I miss the most. He spends his days reading the Bible and watching tv, mostly preaching, as Braxton calls it. He loves having company! He lights up when people come over and talk and tell him stories!
We have so many people that do so much for us and we are so very thankful for each and everyone of you!! Our church family is amazing. They provide dinner for us every Wednesday, which is a big help. It has happened so many times this year that we would be almost broke and we would get a card or someone would come by with a check or some cash. It is just amazing! Thank you for being blessings.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Jesus Christ is the reason for the season!!!
Love & God Bless, Chris, Autumn, Brittany & Braxton Fagan
