CHRISTMAS IN FEBUARY

For a very long time (approx. 4 years) I dreamed of Christmas with my TWO girls...that it would be amazing and magical...and then here it was...and here I was stressed, overwhelmed, tired and sick. All along waiting for that "FEELING"...that "FEELING" where was it???

Well, after almost two months of feeling totally depleted from 20 days of fever during the holidays, after many sleepless nights of tossing and turning over the guilt I felt for not keeping my promises to Angel over her Christmas vacation...she was stuck home the whole time. After several weeks of trying to focus and recoup, taking things one day at a time...I finally got it...that "FEELING"... knowing in my heart that I certainly was blessed beyond belief this Christmas and that it really was the most amazing Christmas ever.

As I sat talking with Angel today about a subject that seems to surface quite often lately, my heart melted by the wisdom of this precious child of mine. We were talking about how difficult it is for the two of us to spend time alone together since Georgia joined our family. I, again began to apologize for how things turned out this Christmas and for all the broken plans that did not go through because I got sick.

My Angel looked up at me and said "Mommy I had a great Christmas, God kept us all safe and together. We have Baby Georgia and we have our family. Christmas is about being with the people we love and celebrating that Jesus was born. That is what is important and Santa Clause brought me everything I asked for...I think he works for God.

So, there it was "From The Mouth of Babes"...and then came that "FEELING" I felt peace in my heart, joy, happiness and I felt God's love come to me through my child...once again!!!

A Merry Christmas was had after all...I see it now!!!

Angel you are truly an amazing kid and Georgia you did make this Christmas special, we are so blessed to have you both.

Finally here are some pictures
