A December look back

With the New Year approaching and Christmas coming to an end, I thought I'd look back through some of our favorite moments! I absolutely love Christmas, I love to decorate, to give, to bake, the lights, the festivals, Santa, the magical feeling, the love you see when you share the joy of Jesus' birth, the special Candle Light Services, Christmas movies and music! As you can see I love it all! I am always sitting here sad when it comes to an end. But glad to see the hopes and promise of a brighter new year! In the collage, there are several photos from various times through out the month. We love to go look at Christmas lights together! And we found this awesome walk through park, and it's so festive and neat. I have to share something, I just think is remarkable. My 6 year old great nephew, wanted to buy everyone in our family a gift at Christmas. Now mind you, there is 22, that would mean 21 gifts. And he wanted to use his own money only. So his Nana took him to the Dollar Store. (Dollar Tree) I can't tell you how impressed I was with this lil guy! He was so thoughtful with each and every gift he bought, like a chocolate Cross for Grandaddy, because he loves chocolate and God! Now how awesome is that! He bought hubby a fan air freshener for his truck, as he loves the truck he got this summer. It goes on and on, through everyone! I mean, it was the sweetest gift ever! I will cherish my flowers forever! I am just blown away by the sweetness of this lil guy! He is just too sweet. Then today he determined how we will know if the baby is a boy or girl???? Want to know how??? He said well if you are not married, like his mom, you have a boy. But if you are married it is a girl! How observant for a lil one, as this is the way it has been in our family. Just too funny that he thought of it all on his own.

I look at my plague all day long, and am just so thankful for a husband that made me something so very special. He took so long to make me this, and Lil E loves to show me it's her hand print every day! She is just as proud of it, as I am! What a blessing!!!

And Lil K started really walking in the last month! How fun! And had a ball out today, running! It was the funniest thing, she would run run as fast she she could to catch the bigger kids! And would try to do every thing they did!

Lil E has grown up so much in the last month, they received the Little People Nativity for Christmas, well she wants it to sit pretty with my Nativities and doesn't want anyone to play with it. They are welcome to press the Angel to make the star shine and Away in a Manger play, but that is it. And she has really taken to games too!

We have grown so much this last month and a much tighter bond! It is amazing! It's just been a wonderful month and I'm so thankful for this time in my life!!! I have come to realize how blessed I am with my family, friends, where we are! Thank you all for being a part of my life!

Hugs and Blessings,
