Getting ready for Christmas.


The stockings are hung and the tree is trimmed. Now we just start the countdown. We are looking forward to this Christmas because each year gets better and better. We are so blessed this year and are so excited to see all 3 of their faces on Christmas morning. The tree is still decorated which is a bonus. The presents under the tree are hard to resist but they are doing well especially since none of them are for them. They all promptly told Daddy that his present was under the tree and that Mommy got him a box. Which is why Mommy didn't tell them what was in the box.
Tonight was the Christmas program at church and Colin & Dalton participated this year. They were originally going to be a donkey & a sheep until they informed me of their animal choice. Dalton chose to be a crocodile and Colin wanted to be a lion. So Mommy got creative and made their costumes. Ian was a very last minute addition as a bat which was an extra costume. They all did very well and it was very cute.
So now we wait. I have made the list and checked it several times; cookies - check, stocking stuffers - check, presents wrapped - check, egg nog - check, ham for dinner - check. All that is left is to wait. I think I am going to have the hardest time myself.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope that the holidays find everyone in good health and with the ones they love. We hope Santa brings you everything on your list and that you save room for Jesus in your heart. We know both will be paying our house a visit this year.
