I can’t believe Christmas Eve is here!  The closer we have gotten to the big day, the more excited the kids have gotten.  I have too but with a little bit of sadness mixed in.

I am happy and blessed that I have a happy and healthy family and that we can all get together to celebrate in various forms over the next few days.  But I am a mix of emotions as well because we won’t be celebrating our little angel’s First Christmas.  Having already had two Firsts, I know how special they are and am a little wistful that we won’t be having another one.  But at the same time I am excited to share this special time with my children and see the magic of the season through their eyes.  Christmas really is all about the kids and it’s so much fun!!

So I will be smiling through the tears (Christmas music makes my cry on a good day lol) and enjoying every minute of the next few days while at the same time remembering our little angel.  Told you I was a mix of emotions.

On a happier note, the kids are going to be jumping for joy tomorrow night when they open their gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.  I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they see what their grandparents have in store for them come January!  Sorry folks but it has to remain a secret until the kids find out and then I can shout it from the roof tops!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and may the magic of the holiday season stay with you through the New Year.
