One Week til Christmas

Brianna and Mikayla's list keep getting longer....We told them about a month ago that there really wasn't a Santa Claus that it was mommy and daddy...Brianna "knew" but wasn't for sure because the kids in her class had told her....Mikayla was the same way but really wanted to believe still....We told them that sometimes people will sponsor kids, which is what happened to them last year (SO many presents). Brianna wants a cell phone. I just don't want them disappointed by the lack of them this year.

We are trying to teach them that Christmas is not about the presents but about our Savior's birth. God sent His Wonderful Son to us for our redemption and salvation. Jesus took all our sins on Himself so we can be with Him in His Father's House and at His Father's table. He Loves us so much.

A Day in the Life

I have just finished a typical Monday. Got to work at 3 in the morning, got off work at 1 pm and did a few errands then went to school to wait on Brianna to get finished with tutoring at 4. I figured we would pass John and Mikayla on their way back in for basketball practice. We didn't we got to see them for about 15 minutes before they left to go back into the school.

Brianna and I ate and she practiced her flute for 45 minutes. She is so good!!! Sunday is hers and Mikayla's Christmas Band Concert. Mikayla is becoming quite the saxophone player, too. Maybe for Christmas we will get a digital camara and be able to put pics on the blog.
