oops!

these pictures somehow missed the last post... check out these gifts, isn't this cool?

this was the best wrap job of the night! look how hard riley's working, it love it!


i thought this gift says it all. it really brings tears to my eyes. to know what this gift means not only to the child that is receiving it but what it means to the child who gave it!
i really wish i could explain all the details of what took place this evening but it is impossible. i believe our kids gave the gift of presence to their families, they made a memory that will last forever!
thank you God for sending your one and only son so many years ago. let us remember why we celebrate. i pray that this year YOU will be the focus. may you bring families closer together, and closer to you this Christmas season. thank you for not only teaching/reminding these kids the real meaning of Christmas but for me as well. i love you, you are an awesome God!
In Jesus Name
Amen

This is really great! I hope other people see this. Kids are amazing. I told Anthony that this year he might not get like normal. He said why where will you and Dad be? Where are you taking Andrew? I said no where we will be there just not as many gifts. He said but you will be there? All he cares about is Family!!! I was so proud!!!
