Merry Christmas

I'm getting this in at the very last minute!! Christmas is almost over. Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hope you got everything on your list...and enjoyed a day with your families and friends. We had a wonderful Christmas. Eating tons of yummy food, spending time with our families and enjoying the boys. Every year gets to more and more fun for John...He woke up about 3am to see if Santa had come or not. He came and told me he had and what he had left. He said..."Mama, I just couldn't go back to sleep!" But, he did and didn't get up till 7:30...then of course the playing began. Alex enjoyed it as well but at times it was a little overwhelming. He loved his toothbrush from Santa (in his stocking). He brushed his teeth all morning. =)

I now know how much joy my parents felt each year when my sister and I would open our gifts or see what Santa had brought us. There is nothing quite like that anticipation and excitement in their eyes. It's a joy to give to your children! I would imagine the Lord felt the same way when he sent the greatest gift of all to us on this day - his son. What a beautiful, precious gift. I want to make sure my boys always remember that as the meaning of Christmas.

And to you and yours...Merry Christmas...
