Merry Christmas. It is a great day, and we should focus on the birth of Christ and the gift of eternal life that he provided through his birth and death.
We focus on faith, but as with all families, it is a celebration for the children, and while we love our time with Austin, we also pray for our daughter who is not with us yet, hoping that she is being loved wherever she is today. At Christmas Eve service last night we had the opportunity to light a candle and pray, and we as a family prayed "to Jesus" (Austin) for Emily. Though she isn't with us physically, she is with us in our hearts.
Our Christmas morning was the normal 5:30 wake up call from Austin. We made it until 6:30 until we had to get out of bed, and had a great morning. Sometimes we as parents make great decisions, and sometime we make 'bad' decisions, and sometimes it is all just perspective. Austin views his present as great, and Dad may view it as 'bad'... but sometimes we as parents need to make sacrifices. You decide if we made a good decision or not.
Austin's quote to Grandmommy and Grandaddy for Christmas: "Thank you for the Gator and just Thank you"
