We have had such an amazing holiday season! It was a wonderful thing to have our first Christmas with our sweet baby boy. Bruce and I have been amazed to watch him grow and see how smart he is. Obviously, we believe he is a genius. It has been such a humbling experience to be his mother. I am so grateful for him.
It seems like the older I get, the faster the Christmas season passes. When I was a little kid, it seemed like the longest month of my life. Santa coming seemed to be a lifetime away. As an adult, really understanding the meaning of the season, it seems to pass far too quickly. I am so grateful for the birth of a baby in Bethlehem that changed the world. As we have celebrated this holiday season, the thoughts that our little family has tried to remember have been of our Savior. It has made this holiday season so much more meaningful. Especially as I stare at my own bundle of joy and marvel at Mary's strength to deliver a baby in a stable and know that the obligation and blessing of raising the Savior of the world was hers.
I have also enjoyed making crafts this holiday season. I made our three little stockings and also got to make me adorable niece a dress for her birthday. It has been years since I have really had the opportunity to make fun things like this.
We hope that you have enjoyed your holiday season as much as we have!
Gideon is the most adorable little boy! I can't wait to meet him sometime (hopefully soon)! Isn't it so fun to celebrate that first Christmas with your own child? I think that's what I love the most, is watching my kids enjoy the season. I miss you guys!
