A Christmas Eve to remember...

I am sitting at our desk at 11:00 on Christmas Eve. Anthony is, of course, wrapping my presents last minute :)

We had a wonderful day of visitng our neighbors & exchanging gifts, making cookies for Santa, having a nice family dinner and a birthday party for Jesus.

Before blowing out the candles together, we talked about why we should celebrate Jesus' birthday. Jacob and Elijah just took off like little rockets. Amist all the sweet little boy chatter about who Jesus is, why we should let Him live in us, what eternity meant and so many more.. I was filled with an intense warmth.

The candles were getting very close to the cake as we wrapped up our conversation. My boys are really understanding what it means to be Christians. They are embracing God's love.

What a wonderful thing!
