JOJO HELPING WITH THE TEXAS TRASH.
THESE 2 SWEET PUMPKINS MELT MY HEART.We have had a super busy weekend... had lots of exciting things take place:)
The baking has begun... we have the Texas trash made, and now need at least 6 dozen cookies made for the kids program at church on Wednesday night. The kids are all performing in it... Louis has a solo and some lines in it. This is the first time he has really had a part in a play and I think it will be great... right up his alley:) We have a whole list of cookies we would like to make... we will see what gets done. Honestly, I haven't even thought about what to get the kids for Christmas. I am a bit of a stasher. I like to buy ahead, but I need to look and see what we already have. We usually only do 3 gifts, just like the 3 wisemen bringing gifts to Jesus. So it shouldn't be bad to go out and get a couple of things. I am really trying not to stress about it, but just enjoy it. I know all of the important things will get done.
My parents come on Wednesday. We are watching 3 little girls, they are in foster care with a family from church, for 10 days over Christmas. Then my brother and his family are coming down for New Years. I am thrilled to have all of the distractions away from my regular routine. I think it will really help me get through the holiday while missing Samuel. We also plan to head to Houston for a bit at some point.
We are looking forward to having company and extra kids around the house. I REALLY needed the distraction this year... and I think I got it:) I don't mean distraction from the reason we really celebrate Christmas, but the distraction of celebrating it without Samuel here.
Better go get to bed, we need to try to crank out a full week of school before the Grandparents come Wednesday evening:) I will try to post something a bit more interesting... I do have a funny "NOT ME" picture I will try to get up for NOT ME MONDAY... we will see if I get to it...
Blessings on all of your Christmas preparations:)

Okay, I have to know what "Texas Trash" is!
Thanks for all your prayers Sara! I can't believe the countdown is here (practically!) I'm thinking of you especially this Christmas and almost wondering if this year might be harder than last. I remember breaking down on Christmas Day last year and just sobbing, but even looking back, there was still a fog around me of 'how could this be my life?' This year reality is definitely set in, not to mention how big a deal Christmas would be this year for Samuel and Felicity if they were with us. Praying you find extra comfort from God and family and friends!
Love,
Rachel
