Well, it is finally here...Christmas Break!

Yahoo!  Just didn't think it would ever get here.  Getting up at 5:00 and going to bed at midnight each night was just about to get to me.  It came just in time!  This week has been a challenge and really humbled me into just taking one moment at a time.  Between flushing my phone down the toilet, spilling sticky apple juice (a lot of it) all over my kitchen floor, spilling an entire mug of water down into my printer, and all the demands of class parties, gifts, etc for 4 people I am just pooped!  Anyway, enough complaining about my week... This weekend will be spent making my house inhabitable again, preparing for all the celebrations of Christmas this next week at our house, making some fun Christmas memories with my kids, and maybe a little relaxing could be worked in too! I am so excited to see all my family over the next two weeks and spend some time together.  This time of year is so special and I just want to focus on the real reason  instead of the materialism.  Loving the new devotional I got that puts more meaning back in Christmas for the family of young children. Can't wait to start it this weekend with the kids!  Hope you all are full of the Christmas spirit and planning lots of fun times with your family the next several days. Remember how lucky we are to have family and friends to celebrate with and how our Savior was born on that special day to save us all.  All we have to do is receive Him in our heart we will live with Him in eternity.  What better gift could  any of us ever receive?! 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!  And may we all remember to take a moment to reflect on this season and all that it means. 
God Bless you!

Must be concentrating a lot - got the tongue out.
