We finally trimmed the tree last night! It seemed that we would never get to it this year. The kids had so much fun and it looks beautiful. Our tree is full of ornaments with sweet memories, underneath is stacked with presents that will bring more memories and my heart is full!
As I look at the gifts placed under it, including 10 pair of pajamas for kids (our Christmas tradition), I thought of our mismatched family. We will celebrate with 10 children this year (and for you 4 who are technically adults, you're still kids to me). Three weren't born into our family but they are part of it now! Because of life, we won't all be together at the same time either, but we will have time with all of them at some point. What this means is a lot of planning, a lot wrapping paper and a lot of love! God is good and I am so blessed!!
