THE HOLIDAYS

Brody and I had a great Christmas! We were blessed by so many people. We loved putting Wayne's Christmas tree up on his grave. We decorated it with ornaments that show his personality. Brody painted some blocks to put on his dad's grave with his Aunt Megan. We of course had to take him his Christmas presents. I had bought him and Brody matching toy motorcycles. I always had to buy them each one because Wayne is as big of a kid as Brody. We took him his motorcycle and of course a Mountain Dew. Brody had to drink some of it first though. He said his dad could have the rest. Brody loves to make special things for his dad that we can put on his grave.

We spent Christmas Eve at Beth and Dusty's house. Brody just loved waking up Christmas morning with Kevin and Ty. He is their little shadow. Wayne and I had bought almost all of Brody's Christmas before he passed away. Wayne had to get him a GIGANTIC remote control 4 wheeler. I had to inform him it wasn't for him and that he couldn't do any modifing to it because it was Brody's. Brody loved opening it Christmas morning and loved that it was from his dad. I know Wayne was there with us that morning just wishing he could be driving it around in the snow too.

We spent New Year's at Grandma and Grandpa Whittle's. We had a great time playing with Conner, Kaylee, and Aydrian. Brody loves to go up to my parents because he is so spoiled. He loves to talk my dad into taking him to McDonalds, even if dinner has already been fixed. He still gets his way....his chicken nuggets, fries, and don't forget the annoying toy.

The holdiays were not quite the same without my sweet Wayne, but I know he is not far from us. I continually feel his sweet spirit with me. I am so blessed to go to the temple often to feel his presence there with me. He has been my eternal companion since the pre-existence. I am so honored he chose me to spend eternity with. I can't wait to spend eternity with him and our beautiful son. I know he is having an amazing influence in the spirit world and that he is serving the mission he always wanted to. He will always be our "daddy angel" watching over us.

Thank you to all of you for you constant love and support. We love all of you and are so honored to have all of you in our lives.
