I try to ask my kids what Christmas is all about every day. They very first time I asked this year, they struggled a bit before the right answer came out, but now it's immediate. "Jesus." It's all about Jesus. I know they don't fully understand the the awesomeness of God coming to earth, but they do know that it is Jesus' birthday. They are all wrapped up in the presents, and Santa Claus and decorations and Christmas sweets, but they know that Jesus came down as a baby, that he had to sleep in the barn with the animals, and that he is so cool that he lets them get presents on his birthday. I'm excited to see them learn and grow and understand a little bit more each year. (These pictures are from their Christmas program at church last night.)Monday, December 17, 2007
