Even though I had some help this advent, I am glad Christmas has finally arrived.
This lil'guy is trying to get in on all of the action, he doesn't want to be left out of anything.
These two are quite the tag team these days. Eliana can't get enough of her Malcolm. I am always giggling at their daily antics.
This past month I have been extemely exhausting. I think it is mostly due to my somewhat broken sleep. Baby Malcolm is working so hard on teething and he likes to nurse alot at night to soothe himself. So, between that and shopping my fuel has been running low.
I wouldn't change a thing though, I have experienced an overwhelming sense of love from God through my children so I know it is all worth it!
We attended the four o'clock vigil Mass, I just love the beauty of the church all adorned with evergreen trees, white lights and the bright red pointsettas.
I felt so joyful and blessed for the family I am a part of. God has been so good to us and I am so glad to be able to honor Him at this special time of year.
The manger was another awesome sight and the children couldn't help but to be drawn into the mystery of it all.
After church we went out to dinner and when we got home the kids watched a movie and off to bed they went. I stayed up enjoying the quiet and finishing up some last minute cooking preparations.
The tree looked so luminous and there was that special warmth in the air that ole' tananbaum gives to the home on Christmas Eve.
This cute lil' vintage ornaments was a GW find, it is a set of eight mini bells all different Christmas characters. They are so cute I am going to have a hard time putting them away. I am glad to have 12 days to enjoy them and all of the other decorations and festivities.
All of the stockings got filled and I headed up to bed with a feeling of relief and contentment knowing that the family was about to share another glorious Christmas day together.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and I hope you get to slow down these next twelve days and savor the season and soak in all of your blessings from above! May Jesus be in your heart and His peace shine through you!
