Unexpected Surprise



My scanner didn't really do justice to this photo. I'm usually not good at random shots but I was pretty pleased with the way this one came out.

Journaling says: This year we have decided to have a much smaller Christmas than usual. It was a tough decision, especially for me, because I love Christmas so much and because I take such delight in giving to everyone, especially my children. My unexpected surprise has been how well the kids have taken to this new idea. They both keep talking about how much they can’t wait to be with their cousins and how much fun it will be. They don’t seem to be missing the gifts. WOW! In a family that would sometimes take 4 hours to open all their gifts on Christmas morning! What a surprise!
