Let the Festivities Begin...

Well, we started out the season with the annual Santa visit. I'm hoping one of these years I will get a picture with all of the boys sitting with Santa and not crying.

Hunter can be a bit of a challenge to get a good picture of. He likes to do the cheesy smile. Oh well. He was excited to see Santa and asked for a Crayola Crayon maker (B&P got him that), the Crayola Glow Dome, and Farm Stuff (which Santa tells me he can take care of that). So that should work out pretty well.

Here are the boys in the PJ's Poppy & Boppy got them...

Here is my sweet baby, who is getting so big!!! He loves to cuddle, eat and sleep. Just in-case you were wondering what he was up to. He is also cooing a bit and cries now and then.

One thing I am trying to do this year is make sure the boys, especially Hunter, understands the True Meaning of Christmas. It can be hard with all the presents, music, cookies, decorations, etc...but I'm really trying. They will be getting many less gifts from Keith and me. And I've talked to Santa, only 1 gift for all three of them this year, although it is a pretty great gift. I've also been trying to reiterate that all this stuff if great, but the really meaning of Christmas is that it is Jesus' birthday and we are Celebrating and doing all the fun stuff like a Big Birthday Party for Jesus. And also remind them that Jesus is the greatest gift of all because he came to earth as part of God's plan, being our savior to take away our sins, so we could have a relationship with him and then live in God's presence forever worshiping Him. I think he is getting it a little. My hope is that everyone would understand that this Christmas and remember that if it weren't for that first Christmas no one would be worthy to enter Heaven. So this Christmas, let's Praise God for the BEST GIFT OF ALL...JESUS!!!
