christmas past and present #9

Our First Christmas
As a family

The Christmas season
a time to ponder
the baby born to us.
The baby, Jesus.


My Christmas season will always
include remembering this baby.
My beautiful firstborn
My beautiful daughter
who has brought me so much joy
and has taught me so much.

That first lesson in overwhelming love.
A lesson in God the Father
giving his Son.
How?
Happy Birthday, dear Kate!

We're off today for a girls' day,
lunch and Anthropologie (my first time!)

This is precious. Your baby Kate is beautiful...I'm in awe of her beauty. It reminds me, stirs up those feeling, of a precious newborn.

Both my girls we're born at Christmas...the first 'Holly Noel' on Dec.26, the second 'Grace Elisabeth' on Christmas. Precious gifts indeed.
