Countdown to Christmas...

Our house is all a buzzzzz this holiday...it seems, for the first time, all four kids know that something is happening...something is going to happen...and that this is the season for expecting the unexpected. Surprises and gifts, decorations and lights, babies being born in mangers and cows being the undignified visitors. It all is filled with awe and wonder. How could it happen that we DO nothing and get gifts, just because it's Christmas? Oh how it makes me understand GRACE and how a mighty God came to a lowly earth, not because we DESERVED it but just because He wanted to give us a gift, the greatest gift, life.

Ok on to the little details of what's happening around here...we do a countdown in our house and it is so FUN! This year I tried super hard to take a picture of every day but I failed miserably. Oh well - here's the recap of our countdown so far!
