Becky's home!

Yay, Becky's home! After nine long months of not seeing her, my family and I drove down to the Philly airport yesterday to pick her up. It's so nice to have her back home! We have lots of fun things planned- cookie baking, watching Christmas movies, visiting Christmas village, doing some last minute Christmas shopping, going to Christmas parties and events, meeting up with friends.... this week should be fun filled and wonderful!

But above all, let's not forget the real reason we celebrate Christmas. It's so easy to get caught up in the fun and commercialism of Christmas, but without the birth of Jesus Christ, who came to save us all, though we don't deserve it.... that's the real reason I celebrate Christmas. Christmas, the celebration of my savior's birth... thank you Father, for such an amazing blessing!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Don't forget the real reason for this season!
