And that's a wrap {1}

Today, December 28, I realized that Christmas was over. I know the realization came a bit late. But today was our first day off of work. Most people get holidays off, but we work more on those days, and reap the benefits later. I was a little sad when it sunk in today. No more excuses to buy presents. No Christmas lights to turn on at night. Not even a good reason to make baked goodies.

Eva definitely loved the attention, late nights, and extra chocolate!

Eva was a little overwhelmed with all her gifts. Most were bigger than her.

But our Christmas was pretty wonderful. I love presents. And good food. But I also tried to remember that we were celebrating the birth of our Savior. I have often pondered in my heart the blessing it is to have Eva. I can't even find ways to describe how I feel, or how my love for her grows every day. It is the most selfless love I have ever felt. And it brings so much joy.

Well, I read in Luke about the wise men, who were watching their flocks when the angel told them: I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.


Without a doubt, the birth of our Savior, was good tidings of great joy. I'm going to try to remember that whether it be December, April, or any day of the week. (Let the list of New Years resolutions begin. . .) 


Oddly enough, I've blogged more this month, than I have for the year! It's time for  me to put my feet up, get a pedicure, and take a break. I'll see you all in 2011!
