I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Each year, I can’t wait to put up our tree (I don’t want to take it down either) I also sing “Silent Night” to Kamryn all year long. Some people have to “get into the Christmas spirit”…. "the Christmas spirit” never leaves me! :) Being with family during this time of year just warms the soul. It really is “the most wonderful time of the year”. The time that we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
But boy oh boy…is this time of year busy or what?!! We have such a large family; we have to start super early with all of our “get-togethers”. Let’s see….it’s December 21, 2009 and we have already had FIVE Christmases….PLUS we asked Santa to come see us early this year due to Jimmy having to work on Christmas…and he AGREED! Santa was very generous to Kamryn this year….leaving her: a wagon, an activity table, books, movies, and many other fun toys! I wasn’t expecting her to have much of a reaction, but she did! She walked into the living room, she saw all of her toys sitting under the tree and her face lit up! She was smiling and looked at me, then Jimmy, as if to say “For me?”. Then she walked over and played with each toy!
Having children REALLY does bring the greatest joy back into Christmas. Seeing it all through their eyes is amazing. Here are some pictures….and we still have a few more places to visit to celebrate with other friends and family, SO MORE TO COME, I’m sure! :)

Look at everything Santa left for sweet Kamryn.
She is trying the wagon out.
This was a BIG HIT.
She couldn't believe all of these new toys were for her!
Concentrating.
Going for a ride with Alyssa and Ashlyn.
This little girl is having such a good time!
Her Grandaddy bought her a 4-wheeler!
...helping Mawmaw open presents...Like I said, there will be more to come....until then, Merry Christmas!
