Celebration Time

The Christmas tree is up and fully decorated, the rest of the house is too!!! The gifts are wrapped and under the tree, and the holiday menu is planned! I have said it before and I must say it again I LOVE CHRISTMAS, I also love the reason for Christmas. To know that we have a Father who loves us so much that he sent His Son to die for our sins is such a comfort. I am a parent and I guess I don't understand the power of Gods love for us because I don't think I could send my child to do for us what Jesus did.

Thankfully we have had some snow it just seems more like Christmas when there is snow! Kye got to come down this weekend to see all of us and we took all three kids to see Santa. It was so funny they all started out crying and wanting to run away, before we were done they were all mostly happy, and I had to go back 2 or 3 times to get Morgan away from him. She decided she liked Santa, Riley never really warmed up to the Jolly man! Morgan told Santa she wanted a baby doll, WHAT!!!! I guess it is back to the toy store for this Santa! Riley all she wanted for Christmas was to get off Santa's lap! Kye was sort of on the same page with Riley. Mom and dad left today to take Kye home, we are really going to miss him!

This Saturday John and I are meeting some of our friends and their kids in Lubbock and we are all going to ride the Polar Express Christmas Train. It is a lot of fun I did it with the girls last year. You hear the Polar Express story, drink hot chocolate, meet Santa (hope that goes better!) and dance. I wish I could take my video camera because with a train full of children and parents I think there will be some very entertaining moments! I will try to post a few pictures when I can.
