Christmas is just not the same.

I made an ornament for the tree that will always remind us of Ben's deployment this Christmas. It definitely doesnt feel like Christmas when half of your heart is in Afghanistan but I am blessed to be able to spend it with the little girls.
We sent a huge package full of presents to our little Brinn and Nana said she wanted to open them the day she got the package!! I talked to her on the phone that day and she agreed to wait until Christmas. Daddy gave her " The Night Before Christmas" recorded in his voice and that was definitely keeping her busy as she listened to it over and over!  Next Christmas we will be all together...Ben, myself and all 5 girls!!
