A Different Christmas

This Christmas is going to be a little different for all of us because for the first year both of our girls will not be home.  With family and jobs of their own now, it's getting hard for the kids to get home for Christmas.  I knew this day was coming, being prepared is a whole other story.  I don't think we're ever ready for things to change when it comes to our children.  However, it's inevitable...change happens.   The kids will not be able to join us for Christmas this year.  I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the days of activity without their excitement and voices, explaining to everyone why they aren't there.  I'm sure in all the celebrating, I'll have moments of pure lose when I will miss them so much.  I pray their Christmas is blessed and happy, full of lots of love and joy. 

John and I played Santa with a car load of gifts and delivered them to the kids last week.  It was a good weekend and I'm so glad we were able to go.
