It's almost time for Christmas!!! I really have been missing the kids being young this year! (enjoy this time Amy and Heather!) The other day I was thinking that we might go to Dan's mom's house after the Candle light service at church. I was discussing with Dallas that maybe they could open presents on Christmas eve and then we could go to grandmas! He didn't want to! He really wanted to wait until Christmas morning! That really made me feel good. I never have wanted to rush Christmas! We have always made the kids take turns and open their gifts one at a time, to make Christmas last a little bit longer!
This is the time of year, I always miss my family! I know it is so different there now! We always had Christmas at my mom's on Christmas eve. Everyone was always there! Her house was always full of food and most of all Love! We always had a little Christmas tree. It always sat on a table. The decorations were old and usually some hand made from all her kids! All of my cousins always came and we could hardly wait to open the small gifts my mom and dad always got for everyone! I can remember only a couple of the gifts that were given. I remember all the family talking, eating but most of all I remember all the laughter! I can almost hear it now!
I hope everyone takes time and enjoys their family and friends this Christmas and Don't rush it..... MAKE it last a lifetime!

You are soooo right about slowing down and enjoying this time of year!!!! As parents, we sometimes get caught up in the "list" of things to do! We forget that our now little ones will be not be so little one day! And it goes by fast, too! Thank you for the reminder!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Merry Christmas! I know I can't wait to watch the girls open their presents on Christmas morning. I think John and I are more excited than Jenna is...well, maybe!
Merry Christmas!
