Christmas is just around the corner

For all you people counting down-
Christmas is only seven weeks away now-
That is three pay checks-
Of course I am excited because this means the baby will be arriving in only eight weeks at the most. So many things to look forward to-Holding a new baby- My favorite Holiday- Thanksgiving- all the kids' birthdays- Snow on the ground- sking and sledding with the kids- having no belly any more- seeing family members we never get to see-wathching the kids enjoy all the Christmas lights (including ours when Mike puts them up)- Mike having time off work- etc. etc....

The kids and I talked about Gifts and Christmas while doing a devotional the other night. They are very excited. We were talking about Gifts from God and all the great things we have been blessed with. I asked them if they could have any gift they wanted for Christmas what they would want-- expecting to hear some very large expensive toy or Carson say a submarine or helicopter (which he asks for often) They both said the best present would be a trip to see their Grandparents. --- oh how our children surprise us- these are the best moments in life.

Grammy's wish for Christmas would also be to spend priceless time with my grandchildren. That would be the best gift ever. There is nothing better. My prayer would be to have all 3 grandchildren from MSP and my 2 grandchildren from AZ and spend time with them ALL ALONE!!! (that would be with no one else just me with the kids):):)
