Christmas is Here!!!

Merry Christmas to Everyone, what a wonderful time of the year to reflect on the Event of the Birth of Our Savior. We are so blessed to have such a loving Heavenly Father that provided everything we need for us to come back to Him- His Love, Mercy and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ! I feel the love of Him as I think more of the Birth of Christ at this time of the year.

Our Family had a wonderful Christmas as we welcomes loved ones in our home.

Grand-ma and Grand-pa Linfields came to visit last Friday. What a joy we had spending some time with them and catching up.









On Christmas Eve we had a lot of things to do, our Traditions, and preparations for the big Day!
We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Jim ( I love it when he cooks, and he doe s a great job). I couldn't wait for a taste of French appetizers, baguette and brie. I think I filled up just munching on those one of my favorite things. Then e had mashed potatoes and ham.

As ususally we read the Nativity story and play it out with nativity peices. It went well for about 2 minutes, then AJ got frustrated that Tasia was not letting him play out his own story and they both started throwing the nativity pieces thought the house. That ended that attempt by putting AJ to bed. Then we decided to show Tasia a part in the movie "Nativity Story" when Jesus was born and the wise men and shepherds came to visit.
This part of Christmas Eve went better then the previous one:)

In the morning Tasia woke up as usual, walked to bed and just wanted to continue sleeping. Poor girl thought Sanata did not bring her percents, because she did not find them under her tree. Little did she know that Santa uses the big Family tree to leave the percents under, well and after you all know what happens....

When AJ woke up and saw Tasia's pink guitar,



all he wanted to do is to string it nonstop. But when Daddy helped AJ open his hew remote controlled Car, he did let go of a guitar for a moment.




At about 9 am we had Jim's Parents and sister for Breakfast.(Jim cooked again, I am so blessed with such a helping husband). It is always a great "treat" for Tasia and AJ to have G-ma and G-pa come over.Tasia usually goes Bananas, trying to entertain grandps and AJ absolutely adores Grandpa Steeve. He does not let go of him even for a minute.


The One person that we did not get to see this Christmas was my Mom. I feel sad that she lives so far away, but the thoughts of her being here for the summer worm my heart and make me feel a LOT better. We Miss you Mom and can't wait to see you here with us for the summer.
