Merry Christmas!!

Christmas day was wonderful as well. Antonio woke Josh and I up bright and early to open gifts from Santa. He was so excited. Santa treated him and Giovanni really well this year as always! Their stockings and under the tree were overflowing with beautiful presents. Santa made sure to eat all of the cookies Antonio left out for him and washed it down with the glass of milk. He also took the carrots for his reindeer. The joy and excitement Antonio had Christmas morning was astonishing, but still could not compare to the feeling it gave me in my heart just watching him so happy. I love to live my life through my children's eyes. It makes it all worth-wile.

Sooo into his new leapster 2 video game!

Trying out his new play shaving kit!

Loving his brother!

Giovanni trying out the new highchair Santa brought him!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! We sure did!! Amen.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Sweet Baby, Jesus, gentle and mild
Born in a manger, sweet, Holy, Child,
Shepherds and Wise Men came from afar,
Seeking a Savior, they followed a star,

Sweet Baby, Jesus, sent from above,
Son of our Father gift of God's love,
In realms of glory, angels did sing
Heavens rejoiced as they welcomed a King.

Sweet Baby, Jesus, Mary's sweet Child,
Light of our life, sweet Babe so mild,
There in a manger, Thou art adored,
Jesus, we greet Thee, our Savior, our Lord.

Sweet Baby, Jesus, send peace to earth,
Lift up all hearts through Thy holy birth.
Now at Thy crib, as evening draws nigh,
Hear this our praises from earth to the skies.
