I play this little game with myself. As Christmas approaches I pretend it is weeks away and then in the last 7 days I turn towards next year. It's like I am never "in the moment." I think because I love Christmas so much and if I let myself get too excited all too soon it is gone. I love everything about Christmas. The smells, the shopping, the wrapping, the mass, the songs, the tree, the smiles, everything. So this year I have decided to relax and really try to "take it in." I have been trying to listen closer to the words of the Christmas songs and read Christmas books both on my own and to the bigs. Watch every Christmas movie under the sun because I KNOW all too soon it will be 12/26 and no one wants to celebrate the day after Christmas with me.
Last year we had a baby, a brand new little guy, now that was a present! We all just passed him around and snuggled him up under the Christmas tree. This year he can't even sit still to get his picture taken near the tree :) @LovelyShaw & @BabyDickey are all expecting the greatest Christmas presents ever and yes I am a little jealous :) Enjoy this time lovely ladies!

Awww how sweet :) I wish I was expecting a blessing this year, but when I went to get my IUD out the DR couldn't find it. 1 month lter I started a new job - the Lord works in mysterious ways, maybe next year we'll try to get it out again?
What sweet pictures! 'A' was so little!
Hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!
