A Christmas to remember!!

This Christmas has been my favorite by far! It's so special when you start to see Christmas through the eyes of your children. Micah is finally old enough to really understand Christmas and all that it entails. He loves the "baby Jesus" story and singing Jingle Bells...he loves presents and turning the Christmas tree lights on! He's walks up to me some times and says, " This is the best Christmas ever! Merry Christmas, Mama!" It's enough to make your eyes tear up and heart constrict. It's such a gift to get to celebrate this season with my own little family!

We just moved into our first house this past year, so this was our first Christmas to put lights on the house and have a real big Christmas tree! It was fun to go together and pick out a tree and tie it to the top of the Jeep just like everyone pictures it. We used pictures of family and friends on ribbon to decorate our tree and I especially love this years picture of Gavin crying as he sits on Santa's lap! HAHAHA! It's priceless and may make it into our new year's letter this year!!

My parents gave us an amazing gift this year of a trip on a real train for a Polar Express experience! It was the highlight of our Christmas this year so far and was definitely an experience to remember! I've posted a ton of pics on facebook if you want to see more!

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you sweet memories this Christmas and a deeper stirring of the presence of God in your life! He is Emmanuel...God with us- then, now, and forever!
