Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Dan, Caitlyn and I hope that everyone hada  beautiful holiday today!!  We had a beautifully relaxing day!  We woke up late, watched movies all day and had a beautiful dinner around 6pm.  While we watched the Harry Potter series (Dan recorded on Cox DVD for us :)) Caitlyn and I worked on some "special" gifts for the guests that will be at our party tomorrow evening. We hope they like them.  If nothing else ... they will be conversation pieces ... good or bad :)

We (Cat, Dan and I) decided to keep this Christmas simple and make it more about the meaning of Christmas.  We spent a lot of time helping the homeless, needy families and Toys 4 Tots.  It was much more rewarding.

Caitlyn will be turning 16yrs old on Jan. 5, 2010 and she is doing phenomenal in school!  We couldnt be more proud.  She takes her first SAT on Jan. 22 and her first CLEP on Jan. 5th (her BD :).  She is beginning to review various colleges that are mainly in VA or the surrounding area.  Her interests right now lie with James Madison University (JMU). 

Dan will find out in the near future where his job will be for the next 4 years.  We're hopeful for Portsmouth, VA and say a little prayer each night that we're fortunate to have his career continue here in the local area.  There are many events and circumstances that can affect the orders ... so we'll just say our prayers.

We appreciate the beautiful Christmas/Holiday cards and letters we received this holiday season.  We enjoy learning about how you and your children are doing.

Happy Holidays to You and Your Family!!

Dan, Heidi and Cat

ps ... here are a few pictures of our day :)
