I was so so proud of BAJA he filled my heart with so much joy!!!! He shared several verses from the nativity. He MEMORIZED them! When he recited them he has do much feeling!! Filled both my mom and I with joy.
Brian didn't get to see it. He was home with terrible food poisoning. Poor guy!
We opened presents. I could not get the boys to hold still long enough to take a picture. HA HA that is how it goes. I laughed. I watched with joy as Baby J onpened his first christmas present. What a wonderful time for a first Christmas. I'm glad my boys find it magical!!
It got a little chaotic after the program, dinner, kids running around etc. It was getting late and that makes for a long day for my boys. We had to leave the party--I had to be a mom and follow through with my constant warning. If you do that again we will have to leave...So we had to leave. However the whole drive home BAJA had I had a good talk. He told me I was the best mom ever and we talked about learning, serving, and doing our best. Sigh! This year has been a little more difficult. I'm not sure if it's just having 3 children (make that 2 rambunctious boys and 1 baby with some needs) or perhaps because I want BAJA to know the true meaning of Christmas and it's not all about toys and presents and holiday shows etc.
After getting the boys in their pjs BAJA fell asleep. SO so tired. No wonder the party was difficult for him. He loves to go go go and hardly stops but to fall asleep in his chair waiting for me to come and read stories....well that says a lot. At the end of the day I'm so so grateful to have all three of them. THIS is what I waited so long for...the chance to be a mom on the good days, and not so good days! Holiday drama and all!!
I'm so grateful for the sacrifice of others and the true service they have given me in order for me to be a mother.
Merry Christmas!!!
