We have a lovely Christmas Eve with Mom and Grandpa and Meggie at Christmas Eve Mass - always beautiful, but this year, extra hard without our Nan with us. We all had our turns to cry and weep and miss Nan. We know that she is right at the Birthday table of Jesus today , we miss and love you Nan, so very much

Christmas morning was much excitement with Deqlan waking up saying ' HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS' What a gift that was! Father Christmas brought Deqie a lovely green and silver bicycle which we hope he will grow to learn and enjoy riding :)

We had a magnificent day at Mom and Dee, with all the family ! Mom created a feast for royalty, using purple and Faith as the them, in honor of Nan . It was stunning. The food delicious. A treat to watch the kids unwrap and run around laughing and enjoying the festivities of the day.

Our big boy has been very frustrated last week, candida being the culprit - back on diflucan, doubled the dose and he is much , much better !

Hope you all had beautiful celebrations with your loved ones, enjoy the photos and would love to leave you with some words Mom put in our cards, adapted from Dayspring Devotions

To prepare for Christmas is to prepare our hearts. Christmas isnt a product to wrap , but a person to unwrap . Christmas can not be bought , it cannot be created , cannot be made by hand. It can only be found in the lowly manger, in the cradling straw, in the bare necessities and only in the person of Christ , who is PERFECT LOVE. The only way to recieve love isnt to wrap anything up but to unwrap your heart . In His infinite wisdom, God found a way to wrap that perfect love as the perfect Christmas gift for you and me ! He gave us the miracle that is the birth of our Savior Jesus! With this gift , comes a lifetime and eternal guarantee of His Promises.
