Well, I usually base my updates on the pictures I have but, since someone has misplaced the bluetooth adapter there will be no pics until we can either find it or buy another. Anyhow, we are gearing up for Christmas and the kids are so excited. Emily has her first recital on the 20th. They are doing a little tap dance to Rudolph at the town square. I am not really sure how much they really remember but I am sure someone will be guiding them. You can only practice with 3 and 4 year olds so much. We decided not to go to Texas for Christmas. Texas Granni and Papa are going to come here. I am actually kind of relieved we don't have to make the drive. It would of been a short trip since we couldn't go until Friday b/c of Emily's recital and would have to come home Sunday morning. Anyway, I am so excited that Chris is actually off for the holiday this year. He is in his fourth year and has never had Christmas Eve and Christmas off. Thank God for that. We have a lot planned and and a few places to visit so the kids will have so much fun seeing everyone. We can't wait.
I am trying to instill into the children that Christmas is about Jesus and his birth, not all about Santa. I explained to Emily that Jesus is the reason we are here, and he died for us and we celebrate Christmas in honor of him and Santa is just an added bonus that comes along with it. I know she gets it, but her pretty little eyes just keep getting sucked into the Santa scene. I do have to say though, when we go downtown to look at the lights, she always wants to go see baby Jesus first, so maybe it is sinking in.
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for my family and friends. My husband and Children are the best gift anyone could ever have given me. They are my rock, my soft place to fall, and most of all my whole world.
