Tonight we began decorating our home for Christmas
and by that I really just mean that we put up our Christmas tree.
We didn't put one single decoration on it but it is officially UP :)
We had a WONDERFUL night doing it
Each year we go through the same routine. Every once in a while
we add a little something to make it great
This year it appears that mommy has flaked out a bit
No home made dinner, no Christmas music over the radio...
NOPE..
we ordered pizza
this momma rocked out vocals on every Christmas song I could remember
because we couldn't get our radio to play
but it was one of the greatest nights!
We baked cookies as usual and watched a great Christmas movie
We enjoyed every minute of being together and working as a team to get the tree up
Haha...obviously team building began to decline so we kicked out the ornaments for tonight
and will do those tomorrow.
The amazing thought is that if our adoption goes as expected, this will be our last Christmas as
a family of five.
While that is an exciting feeling and the next stage is greatly anticipated.
I wanted to really BE in the MOMENT tonight
Sometimes its so easy to long for, fight for and pour into our children that are without us that
we can look over some of the amazing moments that God has blessed us with.
I wanted to SEE my kiddos tonight.
Alyssa climbing on my lap while the boys handed the limbs to Cameron
Bryson was so excited to be such a big helper to his daddy
and Caleb just kept telling me how much he loved me.
I was with them tonight and loved every minute of it.
Of course our hearts constantly drift to a world that we know so little about
other than it holds two of the most precious people in the world. However,
tonight I was so thankful for those under my roof and eagerly anticipating
what this next several months hold
