Christmas Changes

Christmas is in NINE DAYS! NINE! I can't believe it is coming so quickly. This will be Jack's 3rd and Kate's 1st. Here is a list of things that have changed since we have had kids:

Before Kids - Bought a lot of stuff for each other.
After Kids - Bought a few things for each other and now stuff for kids.
Before Kids - Used to decorate with houses, garland and other decor.
After Kids - No Decorations.
Before Kids - Woke up whenever on Christmas morning.
After Kids - 11am is now almost lunchtime.
Before Kids - Never yelled in the tree's direction.
After Kids - Now in tree's direction, "JACK! Stop stepping on presents, opening them and/or pulling off ornaments."
Before Kids - Never understood Christ's unconditional love.
After Kids - A little better understanding of His love.
Before Kids - Craig and I happy to open presents.
After Kids - Excited to see our kids excited.

Christmas is such a blessing and I get more excited each year as Jack and Kate begin to understand what Christmas is about. This next few days are travel, family and more Christmas celebrating. Have a wonderful next week with you and yours!
