You are just becoming more Eastern European than you think! People here put their tree up on Dec.29 (for celebration of New Year) and it stays up until mid-Feb. So you would fit right in, ours is still up and pretty! :)
On ONE hand, it IS their first family Christmas... so much to enjoy this year, yes? On the OTHER HAND, they might think the tree's supposed to be there all the time and will REALLY miss it when it's down. (but think of the VIEW! Ahhh!)
We are a family made up of nine beautiful children, one busy mom and one devoted and invested dad. We strive to please God and reflect His love to others. We believe in the saving power of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We love our friends, and family and that's why we blog - to share the day to day happenings in this one crazy, big family. We are so very blessed that three of our children have Down syndrome. You are welcome to read, laugh, and cry alongside us. May your visit here be a blessing. Thanks for stopping by.
Me: Isaac, I mean Ga... I mean Ethan.... no.... arrrggghh .... ELISABETH COME HERE!
Kidlet Speak
Me: Isaac did you already put all your clothes away?
Isaac: Yes, I did.
Me: Wow, that was fast.
Isaac: That's what happens when you have years of experience Mom.
Me: (eye roll)
Things to Consider
We so often concentrate on getting our little ones to look good for going to church. Hair: check, dress: check, shoes: check, etc. However, how often do we do a heart check? Making sure our little ones, as well as ourselves, are ready to hear what the Lord might say that morning?
