CHRISTMAS 2012

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone!! I love viewing Christmas through the eyes of my children. It is truly magical to see everything through them and the excitement Christmas brings and all the traditions and belief with it.
This year was extra special because my mom and dad were able to be here and celebrate with us. This is something we didn't think would happen this year. We were also able to celebrate our traditional Christmas eve with my sister, her husband and the newest member of the family, Liam. We had our traditional split pea soup, fried catfish and potato salad. After we waited for a couple of hours to open presents. Of course Santa would be delivering the kids presents later that night.
After a great evening with my family the kids sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn and put out chocolate chip cookies and milk for Santa.
The kids woke up early in the morning wanting to open up presents. They quickly found out they were real good this past year.
It so happens Santa didn't forget dad either. Dad was also a very good boy this past year. He got clothes, mma stuff, work bench and a new t.v.

This has been a great year and we have been truly blessed. The greatest gift of all is my family, love, our happiness and that we are all healthy. No amount of material items could bring as much joy as that.
