Well there's no way I could have posted any sooner, since the last two weeks have been jam packed with absolute craziness! This year I was blessed to be able to add a few new people to my list. This is because I have a boyfriend!!!! His beautiful, amazing, and wonderful children have been a welcome addition to my life and boy did I love shopping for them in addition to my own. Total kids between us makes 10! 10, isn't that fantastic! Oh my heaven, I have always wanted that many kids in my life, and maybe if I'm good Santa will bring me that very thing next Christmas! :)
We decorated, baked, wrapped, and ate our way through the holiday's. My favorite part was driving the kids around to look at all the lights. That never gets old for me. I love the display of lights set against the dark of the night, and peoples creativity never ceases to amaze me. My children got me a combined gift this year, of a gift certificate to a local scrapbook store. Loved it ! Totally shopped till I dropped and got myself some of those yummy KI SOFTIES. I think I'm addicted :)
There was of course our yearly tradition of reading the birth of Jesus by candlelight while one of the kids acted it out with the nativity figures. So much fun! I remember doing this when I was a little girl. My grandfather would read the story while we sat around the tree all lit up with it's beautiful colors. It wasn't until my children were a bit older that they decided acting it out with the figures would be a fun addition. BOYS . . . they can make an action figure out of anything!
