We had two very excited boys this Christmas season! While they might not have gotten everything on their wish lists to Santa, they showed a significant level of gratitude for what they were given, appreciating the gifts and all the family members that went out of their way to make Christmas extra special. We are so thankful for the greatest gift, Jesus' birth, providing a light in our world of darkness, giving us a hope for the future and a way to be with our heavenly father forever.
Anxiously awaiting the "go ahead" to run down the stairs and see what Santa brought!
Santa brought a family set of laser tag, see picture evidence of our epic battle on Christmas Day!
Santa brought Zander a smartwatch that calls, texts and has GPS tracking in anticipation of his middle school years starting in 2024! Santa brought Maddox a Pokémon watch that has an alarm, can take pictures/videos and voice recordings along with Pokémon booster packs! Our stockings were filled with lots of our favorite sweet treats!
I always love when we make our Happy Birthday Jesus cake! The boys enjoyed decorating this year! Let's just say they might not have a future in cake decorating.. haha
This Christmas has been hard. Dealing with the loss of loved ones that were not able to join us this year for festivities and even stopping for a moment to notice our precious chocolate beagle was absent from our Christmas morning picture (the first time since 2009) made my heart ache. I thought this post from Proverbs 31 Ministries summarized my thoughts well. May others that are dealing with grief over the absence of loved ones this Christmas season be comforted by this prayer.
Merry Christmas from the Houstons!
