This holiday season has been different than years past. In part because we both are working full time but more importantly because Gregg and I made the decision to focus more on others and the spirit of the holidays than simply overwhelming the boys with gifts.
Last night, we did something we have been wanting to do for several years now, visit the Huckleberry Railroad and village. It sells out quickly so while we wanted to go several weekends ago, we decided two days before Christmas would be perfect.
It proved to be beyond that! Reece asked me several times what was my favorite part. It took me a few tries from spending time together just the four of us, to watching the boys on the train, and finally landing on the fact that Christmas is so much better when we are experiencing it through the eyes of Graham and Reece. Their eyes glistened as they ran around the village, to seeing Santa and the solider on the train ride. It really was the most magical experience!
So tonight we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus as Reece plays the very special role in Mass of Joseph. We anticipate watching him with the same awe as the boys experienced last night. We have been incredibly blessed this year and look forward to a very Merry Christmas celebrating it all!
From our family to your - a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
