Christmas was such a joy. Caleb enjoyed every exciting moment. From making cookies for Santa, getting most of the dough on and in him, to opening all of the gifts. He sat on the lap of every Santa he saw and made sure each one knew that he wanted the Imaginext Dinasaur Tower, and Rocky the Robot...and just about everything else in the toy magazines.

What a hoot! I believe watching the surprise and joy on his face had to make this the best Christmas of my life. His vibrant personality is infectuous. I wish I were as excited about the things of God as he is about life and Christmas topped it all.

God has given us so many precious gifts. If we could receive them as a little child....oh what joy we would find in life. And it is true that its those simple things that God has given that truly bring joy. A child's smile. A hug. and the thrill that a child has when he gets just what he asked for. Caleb is such a gift.

I thank the Lord for a wonderful husband and son. They make me smile from the inside out.
