Christmas traditions
Dave and I can hardly wait to put up our Christmas tree each year! This year we put it up on on November 29th, four Sundays before Christmas. This is the first Sunday of Advent.
It was more fun than ever because we had a tiny person to do it with! Elnathan tried to grab everything and put it into his mouth. Having a tiny baby gives us an extra opportunity to contemplate the miracle of God becoming man. Isn't it wonderful that God was faithful to provide us with a Saviour from our sins so that we can have eternal life! We sent some of these pictures and more to relatives overseas today, and hope they take some of our joy in Christ with them. I've also been scrapbooking our Christmas tree decorating this afternoon - fun!
Sounds like a special time worthy of a scrapbooking session! We took LOTS of pictures of our little Ethan when my son and daughter-in-law came at Thanksgiving. But when I'll have a chance to scrapbook them...I don't know!
I know your Christmas will be extra special this year!
what a special time of year for those of us who trust our Lord and Savior!! and even more special with baby #1!!! and trust me...they just get more and more special....God gives us children which are truly the best gifts of all besides His own Son Jesus!! happy Christmas to you and your family!!
