Pre-Christmas

We started our Christmas season by having dinner with the Hogg's about a week before Christmas. They're usually out of town for the holidays so we had to get with them early. Here are some pictures from our dinner at Chili's.





Also before Christmas, my mom went in for foot surgery. She had some ligaments that wore torn and her heel bone was all out of sorts. The doctor said that he would possibly have to rebuild her heel using bone from her hip. When doing something like that, the spot where you took the bone from could hurt for up to a year. Therrefore while my mom was in surgery, my dad and I were praying that 1) she would get through the surgery safely and 2) that they would not have to take bone from her hip(her hips hurt her enough as it is). After many hours of waiting, we were able to go see my mom and guess what? THey didn't have to rebuild her heel! Praise the Lord!! Here is a picture of her when she came home from surgery.


Here was our Christmas card picture for this year.
