This is our favorite time of year! We love snow (though we haven't had hardly any yet), we love time with family, we love Christmas movies, and we LOVE the winter holidays! After a great Thanksgiving, the boys were eager to help me decorate our Christmas tree! They also had a great time decorating their own Hawkeye themed miniature trees that they each have in their bedrooms. Another thing the boys are always willing to help with each season is decorating their big sister's grave out at the cemetery. I wish this was something we didn't have to do, and I wish she was here with us instead, but it makes me so happy that the boys are always sure to include her even though they have never met her. It was Brooke who taught Jeff and I so much about the true importance in life, which relates to the true meaning of Christmas..."stuff" or "things" are not important...faith, hope, peace, and love are. And while our boys will have more than enough gifts to open this Christmas, we are also sure to help them remember the true meaning of the season. Merry Christmas, Everyone!
