And the Festivities Begin tonight at Grandpa Lawrence's! Happy Bday to Jesus :)

SO I have been pretty ambitious this week and this is my 3rd blog... but its Christmas Eve and I am at work...its 10am and I have nothing to do and I'm here till Noon..I don't want to start something that I won't get finished today...  so Here i am ...
I have been so excited for Christmas this year...Sondra is so excited when she sees presents under the tree. I can't wait to see her open up presents and just be down right happy...I'm just a bit nervous b.c. I didn't get her one baby....and well..I'm really tempted to pick one up tonight say its from "Santa". My only problem is... she is getting this doll house that she really wants...after we gave her old one to the church we looked at doll houses at Walmart...and she picked this certain one out...well seeing it was 65 dollars....she wasn't going to have a real big Christmas...but my parents offered to buy it so we could buy her more presents. Here is the dilemma...I know she is getting stuff for her doll house from me/Jake...and also on Jake's side...and she'll get her doll house Christmas night at my parents...I'm thinking it will go over her head you know...or I'll just say...hmmm Maybe someone is getting you a doll house...we should save these for when you get your doll house... she'll totally buy that... or when she gets Christmas Money tonight I'll say...now we can buy your doll house...hopefully people will get you stuff for your doll house...I'm a genius! lol
One great thing I am happy for is Sondra knowing this week is Jesus's birthday..I love the whole Santa crap..but it is really all about Jesus's birth...if you ask her whose birthday is this week..she'll reply...it's Jesus's. She loves the  Little People nativity set we have at home... she has a set place where everyone has to be...
I have realized I have grown up... I am past the gift excitement and so much more excited to see my kids' faces when they open up their presents...I think Stuart will be fun b.c. he has been getting into the presents since we put them under the tree...every present has been partially opened this year courtesy of Stu..I bought some special preemie diapers for Sondra's babies and he got those open and Sondra is like "Stuart you opened your only present and its diapers for your butt!!!"...lol..so funny I went with it...I wrapped them up the best I could...
So Merry Christmas everyone :) have a great day and rememberer Jesus is the Reason..i know it sounds corny but it is such a true statement. I hate getting caught up in the gift buying and holidays that I forget to thank the Lord for sending His Son to save us all from sin..it began in the manger....thats the Story of Christmas! ... love you all..
