4 days to go and still no tree...

Well Christmas is in 4 days and I have yet to wrap a single present. It has taken a long time for me to get into the commercial Christmas spirit. We haven't put up a tree, haven't decorated, and we didn't buy a single gift until this past weekend, and like I said none of those are wrapped. It's so hard to spend the time (3+ hours to put up our tree) decorating when I know all I'm going to be doing is corralling Kinsler to keep him from pulling the whole thing over, he's a monster! :) We are also going to spend 4 days away from home to see family so all I can think about is the time spent decorating and then not even enjoying it on the holiday.
I am slowly but surely getting into the spirit but I have never forgotten the "reason for the season". Our Father blessed this world with the perfect gift and I am so happy that I can call him my Savior.

I will leave you with a little present...
Isn't he the most handsome thing you've ever seen? He was growing tired of all the picture taking.

Me? A mom?

It is often times hard for me to think of myself as a mom. Every time I think about being called mom I think  that it can't possibly be true. Yet, all I have to do is look at this precious baby boy and realize yep, that's me...a mom. Then I count my blessings and praise God for the greatest treasure I have here on Earth.

Kinsler, mom and daddy love you so much. You are more than words can describe. You are our everything.
