Three Great Gifts

1. My oldest daughter. She has a very sweet spirit, and is very sensitive to the people around her. She's absolutely brilliant, and incredibly creative in lots of different ways. She works so hard on her school work, and she enjoys everything: literature, Spanish, math, and computer programming. She's a joy to have in my life.
   
   
2. My middlest daughter. She can be very quiet, but one look can speak volumes. She's quick-witted and always thinking. She'll tell you that she's everyone's favorite. She works hard at anything she sets her mind to, but she also loves to play. After her school work is over, she loves to watch movies with me. She's a joy to have in my life.
   
   
3. My youngest daughter. She's fun-loving and playful, generally easy-going and cheerful, and loves to give hugs or just snuggle on the couch. She's very intelligent and has a contagious smile. She loves learning languages and math, especially if it means some one-on-one time with Mom. She's a joy to have in my life.

Christmas Eve Service

1. Our family was asked to light the advent candles for the Christmas Eve service. We have our own advent wreath at our house, so we were really looking forward to this. My oldest and I both read. She did a great job. And the event even got my husband to come to church with us.

3. Snow! I don't care much for snow, especially when I have to drive in it, but the girls were so happy, that it made me happy, too. We put in my "Santa and Snow Songs" CD, and sang along to all the snow songs.
