happy birthday, baby Jesus!

Yes, they left cookies & milk for Santa...We read The Night before Christmas...And they're now snuggled up in their beds...But she sure gets it. She knows the real reason for the season and that makes my heart happy.
I was drying my hair yesterday morning when she came in to show me some of the drawings and cutouts she had already been working on that morning {the little pumpkin l*o*v*e*s art} and she was carrying this little book. This is the final page to a little coloring book she received when her class visited Santa at the mall...It's not what she came in the bathroom to show me, but it's all I saw. I'm pretty sure she thought her mama had lost it...tears rolling down my face and the blow dryer still going - what a sight! HA! But it's the little things that make a mama's heart happy.

Like this little handprint that sits at the very top of our tree {Hudson made it at Mother's Day Out last Christmas} which is one of my very favorite ornaments. And he gets it too. In his little 2 year old way, he sure does. Like when he tells me, "Jesus in my heart, mama." He sure is, Hudson!Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!
And thank you.
Merry Christmas everyone!
