'Tis the Season

Wow, has it really been 2 months since my last post? Either my life is really busy or just super boring- I'll leave it up to you to decide :)

Since I've been on a blogging hiatus recently, I'll keep it short and sweet- a little update to ease myself back into the blogging world...

Christmas is almost here and I am so excited for everything that means. God has truly been working in my heart this Advent season to remind me why I have such a huge reason to celebrate. I don't have a nativity scene up in my house, mostly because I have yet to find one (that I can afford) that I feel truly captures the beauty of what happened on that night 2000 years ago. I feel so blessed this season, so thankful for where God is taking me and my family, so excited to see what he has in store for us this holiday season and into 2012.

Our trees (yes, trees, 3 to be exact) are up and decroated. Since I once again changed my color schemes this year, I feel like they look a little bare, but hopefully I'll stick with this scheme next year and little by little they will fill up. My two golden angels, Faith and Hope, are hanging side by side on our living room tree to remind me of my two sweet angels up in heaven. Not a day goes by that a part of me doesn't long for the day when I can hold the both in my arms and tell them how much their mommy loves them.

Benton. Is. Oerney. I love him, but today he flooded my bathroom for the upteenth time and all I could do was thing, wow, this child must take after his father :) He is loving the Christmas season and almost every day tries to convince me to let him open presents. (Is that supposed to start this young?!?) He also loves showing off the tree in his room to EVERYONE who comes to visit.

I hope this season is finding your family as blessed as ours. In case you don't hear from me again for another two months: Merrry Christmas and Happy New Year!
