53 Days till Christmas Eve

Well I just counted and yes it is official, we have only 53 shopping days till Christmas Eve.

Halloween was fun. J finally decided he would be Superman and Daddy was a miner with his hard hat and "head-light". We took him to friends and family to trick or treat. He had lots of fun and actually got quite a bit of candy, and in the process our little sweetheart blessed several people with his "twinkly" eyes. One of our friends said that J was the first Superman he had ever seen with such a twinkle in his eyes. He was just such a happy kid last night and he spread his love around to those he was with. Sometimes I think the best part of the different holidays is how the kids act. He is so innocent and fun-loving that it just touches my heart. So we had a fun family outing last night.
This morning I have my kids again. J, and 2 others are having fun playing and now they are watching "Frosty The Snowman". It is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Usually I wait until the day after Thanksgiving but they were in need of something new and different from the normal stuff they like to watch!
Today is a good day. God has blessed me with a wonderful, loving husband and both my little and big boys are blessings too. Levi is planning on moving out after the first of the year. I'm not sure how he is feeling about it but hopefully he will do okay with it. I just want my kids to succeed and be happy. I also want them to follow Christ and His will for their lives. That is my prayer today and everyday. Please pray that James and I will follow God's direction for our lives also. Sometimes it is hard to know what God has in mind and what decisions we should make.
