It was such a joy to celebrate the birth of Christ this year. 2012 has been such a special year for us, obviously because of our sweet Jordan. The verse that the Lord had put in my heart for the season was "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world." John the Baptist proclaimed the Christ and we do the same when we celebrate Christmas. I thought about this when I was putting lights on my tree and house. And I thought about it every time I heard a song proclaiming the birth of Christ. We are so blessed that He would come into this dark world to bring us the light of salvation.
So, how did we celebrate? We spend four days with Blake's mom and the poor kid had to look at the gifts for long periods of time without tearing into them. We saw this look alot!
And then this look! He got alot of great toys. They really are a blessing because he is really enjoying them. They are a little more age-appropriate (poor kid was still playing with a rattle!) and a little more educational, too!
I got what I asked for last Christmas! What a sweet blessing this boy has been to us!
