The holidays are here! They seem to come around faster every year...just like birthdays! After a few days of sickness with a stomach virus (always something), we are adventuring out today to see Katie McKinstry (our friend and future star) in a play at the Suwanee Arts Center in which she is the lead. If we can handle it, we are going to the annual tree lighting at Northside Forsyth Hospital which has become a tradition for us. Caroline even wants to see Santa! I am trying to still see the magic of the holidays through the eyes of my kids. Once they found out about "Santa", it spoiled it a bit for me. Two years ago, Caroline snuck downstairs and saw us setting everything up. We did not see her though and she did not tell us until the next year. Judson was smart enough to never say a thing! He just grins really big whenever Santa is mentioned. They know they have to "pretend" to believe for Santa to show up with the goods! The real meaning of Christmas becomes apparent tomorrow when Judson goes with the Trailblazers (4th and 5th graders from our church) to carol at a nearby nursing home. We are also sponsoring several kids from needy families through our homeschool group and of course our kids in Africa, Kubra and Azani. If money were flowing better this year, we would have sent them a goat or a cow! (maybe next year)
