December has flown by and I must admit that I am still working on consistently updating this blog when my life in the real world gets busy! Once again I have so much to say and so little time to say it. Christmas 2010 was a wonder. For the first time in my 35 years, I did not make the pilgrimage to my hometown to spend Christmas with my family. Instead, my husband and I were determined to begin our own Christmas traditions with our boys. I spent the day watching a marathon of The Christmas Story, listening to a mix CD of great Christmas classics like Silent Night by the Temptations and Let it Snow by Boyz to Men, telling our children the biblical Christmas story, preparing a delicious Christmas meal, loving on my hubby and enjoying family time. In a word, AMAZING. The look on my five year old's face when he opened his favorite gift was worth every day of financial struggle we have faced this year. The sound of my three year old's laughter as he ran through the house will always be with me when I remember this Christmas. The icing on the cake was a Skype chat with my family that was almost as good as seeing them all in person. What a day. I thank God for allowing us to have such a wonderful day of joyful memories. I hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas 2010! Talk to you again soon.
