It's beginning to look alot like...
CHRISTMAS!!!
Oh, how I LOVE this season!
Last year, I was 81/2 months pregnant and let's just say...wasn't too jolly! :) This year...I'M BACK, and with a cute, little sidekick!
We were anxious to get the Christmas tree up and see how William would react. We were prepared to say NO! a lot and have every ornament back on the floor within minutes! To our surprise, he was more amazed with the boxes the tree came in! Go figure! He has warmed up to the tree and will go close enough to drive his truck up the side of it, or to touch a light. We have a veggie tale carrot ornament (not sure of this vegetable's name) I hang it very low on the tree so William can reach it. He doesn't like it on the tree and will yank it off as quick as he can get to it! He definitely has his ways! :)
I haven't wrapped any gifts yet, as we have recently realized our child is half goat. He loves paper and will eat a tag off of something in a heartbeat! It's becoming the norm to go in a store and have to hand a half eaten, slobbery piece of what was left of a barcode to a very disgruntled sales associate. I am afraid of what he would do to the presents...so we may wrap our presents in food!?!
On a different note.
It truly has been one of the most amazing months we have had with our little guy! He is a daily reminder of why we celebrate...Our prayers are that he would not grow up wanting things of this world, but that he would grow up and be given the only gift that truly matters...the gift of salvation. We desire for him to know why we celebrate this season, and that we as a family wouldn't teach it to him only in December, but instead everyday!
A few sights of our season.
