As I prepare to spend the day with family reflecting on the birth of the most precious of babies…I can’t help but think of how much Mary must have loved Him. Having my own son has made me a better person, but most days my heart fills so full I worry about how much it can handle. On this most glorious Christmas Day, I’m thankful for my family, my friends, and Jesus’ birth! But man, oh man, I am thankful for my son! And as he wears his happy heart on his sleeve, so I will wear mine! But first…a peek at the fifteen minutes of fun we had picking out Eli’s own special tree this year.

May your hearts be abundantly full today and thankful for all we’ve been afforded though HIM.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Love, Shanny & Eli.
