I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

I enjoy so many things about the Christmas season, but this year I have a new favorite.  I have a few nativity scenes around the house (if I were to start a collection of anything, this would be it) and M2 has been so interested in them.  She's not quite 2 yet so she doesn't even have a recollection of last year's Christmas.  We have been doing our daily devotions leading up to Christmas morning and of course they all reflect the Good News of the season.  She's been all about baby Jesus for weeks now.  It makes my heart so happy.  She picks Him up from the scene, carries Him around, rocks Him and talks about His mom and dad.  I know she's a baby person, but it still makes me happy that she's learning what the Christmas season is about.  How things may change once she starts tearing into those presents :)  I'm realistic so I'm going to enjoy this time while I can.  M1 has been in the Christmas spirit BIG TIME this year as well.  She had 1/2 the ornaments on the tree before Doug and I could get everything unloaded from the attic.  She's been working on learning the books of the Bible and has the Old Testament memorized now.  I love seeing my girls grow in their love of the Lord, but so many times I feel like such a failure in the area of Biblical teaching for my children.  It's so important and I feel like I drop the ball so often.  One day at a time, one day at a time, right????
