Ellie wanted me to take her picture this morning in her Sunday dress. Doesn't she just look adorable. She is just such a joy. We are having fun doing all our different count downs to Christmas. Yesterday we went to the mall and did some shopping. It was interesting! She got to see Santa from a distance and loved it. We are hoping to get a chance to take her to see Santa before Christmas. This morning I was really overcome with the spirit of Christmas. I was reading to Ellie a book about the Nativity. I want her to really understand that Christmas is not about Santa and presents but about the birth of our savior. As I was reading this book to her my emotions were overcome by the love I have for Jesus Christ. What a blessing we have to be able to celebrate his birth. I know that there are some people who think Christmas has become so distorted and commercialized but I firmly believe that you get out of it what you put into it. I hope that all of you will be overcome with the spirit of Christ this Christmas season. He truly gave us the greatest gifts that we could ever ask for.
