The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I finally finished my annual Christmas newsletter today! It takes a while to complete anyway, but it is even harder now that I have two little ones underfoot! I think the thing I miss most from my pre-kids days is the ability to work on things without interruption. I am the type-A sort who wants to keep working on a project until it is finished-- I am not good at starting and stopping. Many nights I would stay up until the wee hours trying to complete something-- I still do if it's important because late at night is the only time I have to myself.

Anyway-- I hope to get the newsletter to the printer tomorrow. This is our 12th Christmas newsletter! I have them all saved in two scrapbooks so that they are archived for us to look back on each year and for years to come. I am so thankful to have them. I know some detest getting those type of cards and letters at Christmas which detail all of the activities of a family.... But, I don't apologize! I love our newsletter! We actually have quite a following-- some people actually look forward to getting our letter each year. Well, at least they remember getting it! :) I send out over 100 each year.

It has been such a joy experiencing Christmas through Luke's eyes this year. He gets so excited about things like Christmas lights and Christmas songs. It just reminds you of what a wonderful time of year it is and how precious our world is right now with two sweet little ones. We are just so blessed.

Luke has his first Christmas program at school on Tuesday. I will post photos and maybe even some video for you!
