I am so happy Christmas is near- I am always happy to celebrate the birth of Christ, but I am not always excited about decorating, shopping and all the craziness that this season has become.This year is different. I have minimized a lot of stress in my life that I really enjoyed getting the decorations out and wrapping gifts.
Here is a closeup of the tree with pictures of my sweet boys through out the years. These are my favorite ornaments to place on the tree- they have changed so much from last year and even more so from the years before. My tree isn't real (I know, a sin), but I am too practical to spend money on a tree each year. I have had this artificial tree since 1994- it has traveled all over the place and is still perfect for hanging lights and ornaments on!So, today the countdown begins. There are many things I have to look forward to in the weeks to come- Jason's school party this weekend, the Brock Family Christmas dinner, visiting Santa Claus, our church's annual cookie exchange, and lots of fun school activities- of course the best thing I look forward is Christmas Eve service at church and then waking up on Christmas morning and seeing my kids faces as they open their presents.
