Christmas 2010 was truly blessed!

Unspeakable gift!!

Today being December 1st, I'm so excited the holidays are here. So ready to celebrate!!!!

I think what a change that is from when I was a kid growing up, my home and family all ways full of drama. Sure Christmas was great we had gifts and food, but always drama and usually a family member missing. When I was on my own Christmas still didn't mean a whole lot other than buying gifts and working long retail hours.

Then along came Robert we had our first Christmas together it was nice a warm felling about it.

Then the kids and Christmas was fun watching there little faces, smile and light up.

Now the last two years Christmas has changed again, its wonderful we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus. That God sent his son for ME, for us. It has over whelmed me the last couple of days and has brought tears of joy!

Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift. 2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV
