Merry Christmas... with Love

Christmas arrived! And some part of me knows that there are aspects of this Christmas that I have been waiting for for my entire life. Such as having all my children under my roof and Santa's magic being real and all around us. We are also coming off a year that held great change, growing of our faith, and was full of spiritual experiences, and those things also brought about a special spirit in our home this Chrismtas season (or at least in my heart)

Dear Santa, please bring me Rapunzel hair

Dear Santa, please bring me a princess castle

Dear Santa, please bring me a donut maker

Dear Santa, please bring us new hats

Some were more happy about this than others

We were especially grateful for Skype today, as we used it 3 different times to talk to people in 3 different countries. We especially feel blessed this year by all the angels in our lives. Many of you, our friends and family, have answered our countless prayers and helped us in so many ways. From caring for my family while I was in the hospital and couldn't, to all the many gifts and acts of service we have been blessed with since returning home. It has been a humbling experience and our hearts are softened and touched. Many of our smiles this year have been because of your love and generosity. Merry Christmas with love.
