Caleb, and I did venture out to do some shopping. We didn't get too crazy though. The Christmas tree is up and all of the presents are wrapped. We went down town Le Center to see the big hollydaze parade and check out all the Christmas lights in the Courthouse park.
I am trying to teach Reign that we are getting ready for Jesus' Birthday party. I think she can understand it as much as a 2 year old can. She loves to read her Christmas books about baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph.. Oh, and we cannot forget about the donkey! The push button animals and snowmen are also a hit again this year.
Maybe I am getting used to Jay being away, or maybe... simply learning to walk in God's GRACE. Thanksgiving and Christmas do not seem to be as hard to get through as other holidays. We were going to wait; to celebrate Christmas, until Jay came home but he told us NOT to wait.
I think it will be a great day to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
so adorable!! Caleb is such a big helper!!
