Christmas again???

Christmas is NEXT week! Can you believe it??? I certainly can't. I am usually really on top of things...by this time decorations would be up, my shopping would be done, gifts wrapped, cards sent out, cookies baked, etc. Let's just say that this year, only one of those things is completely finished. Ugh! Oh well, what can you do? Anyways, I was finishing up with our decorations and I had a few Christmas frames that I needed to fill. So I got on our computer to look for some photos from last year to print. What I thought would take me 5 minutes, ended up taking about 45. I could not stop going through our pictures. I can't believe my little Allie was only 5 months old at Christmas last year! She had just started to sit up and was smiley as ever. Tears just came to my eyes looking at those pictures because it just reminded me of the second best Christmas present I ever got (the first of course being the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus's birth :) God has completely blessed our family and those memories of our first Christmas with our daughter will stay with me forever!
