It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The Christmas season is in full swing and I am about half way through with my shopping! Even though I started early, I am NOT as together as I would like to be this year, but I am working on it, right? I had every intention of posting a few Thanksgiving pics and Anna Claire's Santa picture by now, but I haven't made it to that either!

So...I decided to post a few odds n' ends...

1.) What are your kids asking for from SANTA? Anna Claire is asking for...

Bitty Baby Twins: the girl with "yellow" hair and the boy with brown, a double stroller and bunk-beds for them to sleep in.

Santa is apparently feeling generous this year!

2.) Do you think I can use the song "Santa Clause is Coming to town" as a discipline tool year round? It is REALLY working for me right now!

3.) Where did this precious baby go? Actually, I am LOVING age three! She is keeping me in stitches, daily!

3.) I have been very busy with school as usual, but I have taken time to reflect what this season really means to us as Christians. If it weren't for Christ's birth, there would be no such thing as salvation - WOW. I am so very grateful for this amazing, free gift that we have been given. If you haven't heard this sweet song by Faith Hill, I highly recommend listening to it(but I am a fan of hers). Anyway, I am downloading it tonight! More than anything I love the words, they are such a sweet reflection as to the gift we have been given.

Tis the Season'!

A Baby Changes Everything

By: Faith Hill

Teenage girl, much too young, Unprepared for what’s to come

A baby changes everything Not a ring on her hand, All her dreams and all her plans

A baby changes everything, A baby changes everything

The man she loves, she’s never touched

How will she keep his trust

A baby changes everything, A baby changes everything

And she cries, oh, she cries, Oh

She has to leave, go far away

Heaven knows she can’t stay

A baby changes everything She can feel it’s coming soon, There’s no place, there’s no room

A baby changes everything, A baby changes everything And she cries ………….And she cries …..Oh she cries ….

Shepherds all (Shepherds all) gather ’round (they gather ’round)

Up above the star shines down

A baby changes everything Choir of angels say, Glory to the newborn king

A baby changes everything, A baby changes everything

Everything, everything, everything

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

My whole life is turned around, I was lost and now I’m found

A baby changes everything, A baby changes everything
