I love Christmas! I love the sights, the music, the yummy smells, and the overall feeling of Christmas. It is over for this year but I never want to forget the overwhelming amount of blessings our family has received this year. As September came this year, I felt an urge to be prepared for the rapidly approaching holiday, so I started paying a little extra on the monthly bills so as not to be burdened with them in December, I also started buying gifts a little at a time so by November the shopping was done. That's got to be a record! Usually I'm scrambling on Dec 23rd to get things done. Consequently, my prompting was inspired. About mid December we had a huge $750 car repair, but we were prepared, what a blessing! Also, on December 1st, we received the happy news of pregnancy! We had an ultrasound on the 23rd and everything looks great. We shared the news on Christmas. It has been a wonderful season and a wonderful year, we are looking forward to the year to come
