Julia came running into our room at 6:30 a.m. this morning - “MOM-DAD IT’S CHRISTMAS - LET’S GO!!! CAN I WAKE UP SEAN AND JULIA!!???” At nine years old, Julia is totally excited, your face lit up as you saw your fuff chair. Julia, you open up your stocking and immediately offer to share the candy as “I know you love this chocolate mom”, then you offer to read to your little sister and she snuggles into your arms. What a lovely sweet girl you are. I sit in awe of you, admiring the generous, caring person you have grown into and am overwhelmed by gratitude.
Sean and Kristina are both just thrilled with each toy, each present seeming better than the one before, and you just can’t wait to play together with all your new toys. Of course your big sister will orchestrate the fun. Just two days ago she thought up the idea of everyone having a mailbox on their doors (she made of paper) so you could all send eachother notes. Daily the notes are passed. Kristina can only write limited words like I love you- so her notes are mostly love notes. Sean loves to ask questions and Julia sends inpirational messages.
The rock tumbler is now tumbling, you kids are excitedly playing with all your toys nicely together and now it’s time for mom and dad to hit the hot tub and reflect on our blessings!
