We had the sweetest little Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve morning just the three of us and gave Liam his "big boy" bed. Then we went to our church in the afternoon and spent the evening with Andrews dad and the family. Christmas day was relaxing and filled with food and gifts and even snow which I had been really hoping for. If it is going to be terribly cold it needs to snow! Some of our highlight new toys are the new gun daddy got (can't believe we are a gun family!), my Le Creuset (don't know how I ever cooked without a dutch oven!), the new bed of course, and the beautiful sweater Andrew picked out for me all on his own (yay for husbands who shop at Anthropologie!) But the sweetest part for me of Christmas was seeing Liam embrace our families traditions. We did our advent calendar again, and an advent devotional liturgy from our church very night of advent. Liam loved it and almost had a whole verse memorized by the end just from hearing it every night. He is still asking to sing the hymn from it and knows it all by heart. I now he is only two but seeing his little faith grow and his understanding of his identity as a child of God is one of the greatest joys I have ever experienced. Im so thankful for Gods grace and the gift of faith and hope.
Twas a Merry Christmas indeed!
