this christmas season was good. we watched miracle on 34th street, new and old. we made swedish rice pudding with a lucky almond in it. we had dear ones around us. we went to concerts and loved the excuse to get fancy. we went to church and sang those fantastic carols. we consumed amazing amounts of food. we made big love packages for family far away. we tried to recycle wrapping paper and give more handmade gifts. we left the lights low and burned candles non stop. we got a taste of the real joy of giving by having our own little one to spoil.
christmas day was wonderful. it started with a rough night. we all had tired eyes in the morning.
then there was a blow out, and cope was in a diaper for a while.
cope loved unwrapping things. and we loved giving them. i think i better understand the scripture, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
i finally got the iphone. that's my father in law in the background looking all smug for giving a gift that made me cry. yes i'm crying, and my in-laws are a dream
can't imagine life without this holiday, and without our little love bug to celebrate it.
