Naughty or Nice??

One new stocking to hang this year!

Ever heard of the troll under the bridge....
Snoozing in his box
Loves playing in the box
all aboard! 

So smart...stepping in his basket of toys to reach the remote

What a busy weekend! On Friday night Michael and I went out with some good friends for dinner while Dane played with his cousin Anderson. On Saturday, Michael and I had another fun dinner with a group of Michael's coworkers so Dane got to play with his Nana and D Bowditch. Last but not least, we had Michael's grandparents Christmas party. It's so much fun around the holidays with food and friends! 

As a new mom, it's easy to get lost with the busy and exciting Christmas season. It's the first year we get to watch Dane open gifts and splurge on decorating inside and outside the house.  It's hard not to focus sometimes on the true meaning of what this time of the year is really about! I got a card in the mail and just wanted to share it. A cute simple poem but it really made me start thinking about where my focus should  be. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season as much as we are!

The True Meaning of Christmas

Jesus Christ was born this day

So many years before

He came a servant to the lost

Though he was Lord of Lords

We celebrate this joyous time

Reflecting on His birth

Not born in a mansion, but a stable

As if He had no worth

He came so He could identify

With the human heart of man

And gave His life as a sacrifice

Offering a better plan

A plan that reconciles us back

To our loving Father God

Bringing hope and redemption from

Sins ruling iron rod

For this is the ONLY reason that we

Should celebrate this day

To become focused on anything else

Would take the meaning away

So let's arise with joy in our hearts

And share it with everyone

The meaning of Christmas will always be

The birth of Jesus-God's son
