Today is a great day! Which day isn’t? Here are some reasons…
Today is the last day of school for Brandon and Gabriel until February 4th. (It’s summer vacation in the middle of semesters!) Even though they have tests today, last night seemed to be a celebration. They stayed up goofing around till late. Last day to wake up at 4:45. (Oscar and I wake up to pray and get ready; we get the kids up at 5:30. Everyone’s off by 6:00.) Yeah, we can sleep in!
I woke up with Christmas on my mind and decided to decorate at 6 am before Edson woke up. I put lights up inside and outside and hung up my snowmen all over…hoping they won’t melt like the candles do every year. I was excited to show Edson this morning. His eyes were wide and ohh-ed and ahh-ed at the lights. It made me happy. His eyes look even bigger since last night we gave him a buzz and you can see more face than hair. He’s still a cutie!
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Even though we had 90 degree weather last Christmas with you, I still would miss the (possible) white Christmas each year. And too hot to bake Christmas cookies? That's part of the fun, too. I agree, the snowmen and other decorations really help! Enjoy that Christmas fruit for us, too--watermelon. And those 12 foot poinsettias blooming outside in people's yards. And even the watermelon by the Nativity scenes. And the Christmas music. And the US guests you'll have. And, etc. etc. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Kar, I LOVE your blogs and am glad to see a new entry. How about a photo of Edson's new haircut?
