Last Christmas..

I started writing this last week sometime.. It was very very hard to complete. But I felt I had to.


Last Christmas we had so much fun making memories with the boys, and were SO excited about the year to come and meeting our little girl( I was 20+ week pregnant). We were so busy that I didn't even have time to update the blog and post about our Christmas fun. Well, I'm busy now, but I'm in the mood for a Christmas with Ayden in it, and this is the closest I'm going to get to that.

We made ornaments, and Christmas crafts...








On Christmas Eve we made a gingerbread house..




And as our tradition usually goes, we watched Rudolph, ate stuffed Crust pizza, and then got in our jammies and went light lookin'.

Then the boys opened a present,
 lite brites!
 My sweet laid back little man! Poor thing was starting to feel a bit sick here. 
He was just excited about the mickey mouse we put on his lite brite.


Then we set out cookies & milk...




 And after the boys went to bed, we took out the big presents!



Beautiful house, beautiful tree, beautiful family. Everything was so right.





Stockings, then presents..

 



They loved the 4 wheeler!


We had our monkey bread like always..

The boys did a fire to burn all the boxes..
watched a movie
Took the 4 wheeler for a spin


Poor Ay was getting really sick, he fell asleep by the box. They had such fun playing in that big box.

Me & My boys. Love them SO much.

My poor sick little man. With his gahki and his mickey mouse pillow. Both of which I now sleep with at night.

 I miss everything about the way it was. But I know God has a plan, and he's got my sweet boy up in Heaven right now, and Ayden's smiling and playing and laughing more than he ever did down here. Those dimples are sure to make others smile just like they did down here.


Merry Christmas sweet boy!! We love you & miss you so much!!

Wish I had some words to help you. I can feel your pain in your words. Just want you to know someone is thinking about YOU and praying for you and your family. As much as it must hurt you I do love to read your posts. So know that even though I don't comment I am reading and praying for you.

I cannot say thank you enough. I know you are not writing for me, but I wanted you to know that your words are so honest and your heart so real and say what I feel. We lost our baby boy, (one year & 4 days old), Jonah in 2006. You are exactly right. God is the only One Who can handle it all for us. As a momma, I am prone to let my mind torment me but I keep giving my mind to the Lord (Phil 2:5) and He saves me again and again from myself. I am extremely thankful for Him and His Word! God bless you, Erin.
