Oh, I do!

I had no idea I would love a boy this much! I'm so glad I was given a chance to find out just how sweet a little boy could be. The way this guy lights up a room is just incredible. Whenever James sees a familiar face he breaks into this grin (see above) and holds out his arms (again, see above). He does this for Mom, sisters, Dad, grandmas, grandpas, neighbors, kitties: you get the idea. He has a special gift for love and good cheer. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for Baby James!

It's Christmas Time in the City

How do I know? The tree is twinkling, the carols are playing, there is waaay to much chocolate in my kitchen, and the girls are frantically making gifts into the wee sma's. When they get up in the morning their eyes are drooping from lack of sleep, but I think they are having a great time. They are so delightfully clever and sweet.
