Alex is in full Christmas mode. He can't hardly wait to open his presents. He asks me almost daily if he can open them and if I bought them b/c he was good. He's completely fascinated and amazed to see all the lights on the houses, street lights, etc. The wonder of Christmas in a 4 year old is something special!
We had this discussion on the drive in this morning.
Alex: "Mommy, I can see your building from here. Why is it so tall?"
Me: "Students live there." "Are you gonna live there when you grow up and go to school?"
Alex: "NO, I'm gonna live with you until YOU die!" =)
Tonight was a great night! We decorated our Ginger Bread Train.
Then Alex had a piggy back ride from Mommy.
We had breakfast for supper...pancakes, yum! John lost another tooth in the middle of supper. That is number 3.
The night ended with The Polar Express - well for Alex anyway. He watched it so many times in the past that we can miss it. He LOVES it!
Well, I think that is about it for now. There will more to come as we enter this busy time of year. I've been talking to God and reflecting on some things and I feel lead to be a better encourager. I can send an email to thank someone, I can be nice that person that always seems to have a bad day. I can be more of a reflection of God's love by encouraging others, letting them know they are loved and appreciated.

YAY for Ashley!! I love reading the conversations you have with your boys...it makes me smile :)
Oh My!!!! That is so great!!! What will your family DO with a girl in it?? :) You might very possibly go broke buying all those beautiful girly things out there. There are SO many things to choose from (unlike boys). Most importantly, she looks healthy and that is wonderful news. YOU are a great mommy and an encourgement to ALL who know you. Love ya!
