A Few Christmas Memories

I don't have photos of some of the sweeter moments like family singing at Great-Grandmama Dobbs' on the 23rd, caroling with the residents of a group home for abused and neglected children Christmas Eve or RyGuy asking me if Baby Jesus was really coming to our house today for his birthday party, but here are some entertaining shots nonetheless.

I have been so tearful today, because I TRULY know that I don't need anything in pretty packages. I have everything I need. I really felt silly accepting gifts today. I am blessed beyond measure with my family, my friends and most importantly, my Loving God.

It has taken 32 years, but I am finally starting to '"get it." This has truly been the most special Christmas ever.

    Precious.... and I'm thankful God is working so much in your life. I guess we'll always be in the process of "getting it".... but goodness, it's always a blessing to see the growth firsthand... to see that God is still doing His work in our hearts despite ourselves. And it's really amazing how God is using your 3 little ones to bring so much perspective... to you and all of us. Love you and merry Christmas!
