Christmas

I think I have been working too much. Just yesterday we were eating turkey and celebrating Thanksgiving! Gosh, time has passed so quickly. We have had "Christmas" with my parents and Jake's. We have had such a great time. Ayden is so different this year than he has ever been...it seems like there is a race to open all of his gifts in which I think he would have won. One thing after another, not even paying much attention to what he has just opened! Something I had wanted to do this year was to really celebrate the birth of Christ on his level. I had thought about baking a cake or cupcakes, like we do for our birthdays, so he could understand a little about the real Christmas. I have to work Christmas night so I was not sure if I could really get this done. After seeing him tear through gifts like he did...I have to do this. I want him to be thankful...not only for what he receives from others but for everything in this world. God gave us so much and we all too often don't appreciate any of it!
Merry Christmas to everyone!!
