So excited about Christmas!

I'm very happy that we decided to stay here in KY to celebrate Christmas together by ourselves. Sometimes you just need to focus all your love and attention on your immediate family. Sure I love the rest of my family SO much, but there's nothing like waking up at your own house, watching the faces of your children as they tear open their presents. It just brings so much peace, being able to stay home in our pjs all day if want to, eat whatever we want for dinner, whenever we want to. I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year!!! Today I took the boys to the mall for Santa pictures. Grisham just stared at him and was very content in his lap. Then we got their Christmas pictures taken. I know it's kind of late for that, but that's ok. I didn't buy many this year and I kept it simple. Trying to simplify a lot of things in my life. I want to keep the reason for this season close to our hearts. This is a time to reflect on the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ and to remember all that He went through so that we could be saved. It just makes me smile to think about how much He loves us!

From our family to yours, Merry CHRISTmas and a happy New Year!!! May God richly bless your life in 2010 and always!!!
