Aside from all of the kids having a great time, and the adults laughing and telling stories, it was a chance to reminisce back to our childhood. Our family, along with the Cohens grew up together playing soccer every Saturday for 16+ years. We had soccer parties, birthday parties, sleepovers, little Indian princesses, you name it. But we were always together. And every Christmas, Heather Cohen would come over to our house and spend Christmas Eve and day with us.
And now here we are, with kids of our own, starting our own traditions and making new memories. It was very cool watching the next generation tonight playing with balls in the backyard and toys in the house. Exchanging presents and playing with the new gifts. Laughing, crying, screaming, fighting, all the kids creating noise. And Caelen and I get to be a part of it.
I never dreamed 15 years ago that this is where we'd be. I didn't even dream 15 months ago that this is where we'd be. But I'm so glad to be here now.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all of our prayer angels, we wish you a good night.
And a Happy Anniversary in Heaven to Grandma Doris and Grandpa Joe.
Love,
Katye & Caelen
