Every holiday season is different than the last. People move in and out of our lives hopefully changing us for the better. The change from last Christmas to this one is drastic for me. Last year I spent Christmas with my children's father sitting around the tree watching my boys tear thru the presents under the tree like rabid animals! Lol. I felt my baby girl kicking at my bladder and rolling about everytime I laughed. I ate Christmas candy, that me and my favorite aunt worked all day on, til I was sick! :-) I hugged my mom, dad, sisters, nephews and niece and sang Christmas songs with them, hung Christmas lights and prayed with them.
This year I will be doing much of the same activities but without my kids dad because we went our separate ways. I made candy and cookies with my friend this year as I lost my aunt only weeks ago. My baby girl is spending Christmas with Jesus.
I am not even going to discuss the Christmas light ordeal!!!
My heart is heavy but it is blessed! I will be watching my boys, who light up my whole world and kidnapped the elf on the shelf, run about all excited for Christmas and all the joys this time of year brings them! I am blessed with my family and friends here at home and I am blessed with my mingle family here online!
I am blessed with the gift of Jesus Christ!

I want to wish ALL who reads this a very Merry Christmas! I hope this holiday is full of family, friends and all the love they bring. Live, laugh, love and Be Blessed because HE loves you!

Despite the losses CareBear you have indeed been blessed and you are a true blessing to others who have the privilege to call you a member of their family. May God enrich your life continually and keep you and yours wrapped in his love, which you so brilliantly display to others! Blessings sweetie! Daughter at a distance! Missy

Missy you're a Beautiful Woman inside and out!!! Thank you for being there! Merry Christmas to you and your family including all the adopted ones!

Merry Christmas !

And a joyous New Year ahead...

To you also KiK, wherever you are or wherever you may go.

In retrospect sometimes what we think was harder turned out to be for the very best. Children make the Christmas season all the brighter. Enjoy them, they grow too quickly

They do grow fast...My oldest just lost his first tooth! Wasn't ready for it.
