Today is the day that I miss my grandparents the most.  Christmas Eve we all used to get together and eat Oyster soup and Chili.Don't ask how that got started. I remember sitting in my grandparents house and thinking "GOSH it's HOT in here"  They used to keep their house about 80 degrees , the whole house smelled of wood smoke, us included.  It is a glorious smell that always reminds me of them to this day. 
For the past couple years when I host Christmas  at our house I cook Chili on Christmas Eve and my parents come over and stay all night. I'm not a fan of Oysters so I won't cook Oyster soup but I do keep the Chili tradition alive.  Now that we have Willow I hope to keep old traditions and start new one.
I miss you Grandma and Grandpa Hofmann and Grandma and Grandpa Steward

Merry Christmas EVE every one

A lot has changed in a year

Hard to believe that 2 years ago I was freaking out about the positive test I had just taken.  Wow, how things have changed.  We love you Willow Grace.  You may try our patience sometimes but , darn are you cute. It's hard to be mad at such a cute little girl.
