It's Christmas

I am very excited for Christmas but I am also stressed out. Not because of Christmas shopping, cooking, and the anxiety that goes with going to my in laws.

No shopping this year, no job. Cooking? I already did my cookie baking and am done. And we're not going to the in laws this year.

I am stressed over the situation I unfortunately can't talk about (but it has to do with my nephew and his safety). I have been crying all day. I cried while I wrapped the few presents we bought Little Man. I have Christmas music on and I'm crying. I pray I can make it through our Christmas Day service without bawling. Daddy and I sing in the choir and play handbells and it would be a sight if I'm bawling up there.

I was trying to put these new pants Little Man got (I'll explain in a bit) and he did NOT want them on. They are camouflage. I asked him why he didn't want to wear them. He said 'They're Kyle's'. Insert a bawling mom here. Whenever we would see Kyle he would be wearing camouflage pants and Little Man didn't want to wear them. I told him he can look like Kyle and wear them, if he wants. He did! And boy is he the cutest in those pants!

Back to how we got the pants. When I left yesterday (to deal with this whole issue) Daddy said a lady showed up asking if we lived here. He said Yes and she said she'd be right back. She went to her vehicle and brought us 6 bags full of clothes, toys, gift cards, a Wells Fargo card with a lot of money on it, some books for Little Man, a stool with Little Man's name on it and a couple of books for Daddy and I. One of those books is Multiple Blessings by Jon and Kate (of Jon and Kate plus 8). I wanted that book but didn't have the money!

We have such wonderful friends (and people we don't know). It truly is amazing how God continues to bless us and blesses us with such wonderful people in our lives.
