First christmas

As wyatt stood and stared at the tree tonight it occurred to me that this will be his first Christmas.

Just about 10-11 months ago he was just an orphan boy. Today he has it all, including his first Christmas tree. 

I can't hardly wait until he comes down those stairs on Christmas morning to lots of presents! 

Giving!

Tomorrow is Wyatt's first Thanksgiving. There are an endless list of things we are thankful for. The first on the list is our family! The second is that The Lord truly provides in amazing ways. The reason for my post is that although this week is a great time to put the breaks on and think about all our blessings. Although really it is also a time to give. I have been so blessed this last week especially giving back. Of course financially probably tops the list for most, but for me it is my knitting. My heart is so full knowing that I can make a difference making headbands for people to sell or simply giving a friend a gift.  one case I donated them to a family raising $ for their teenage daughter with cancer and the other two families I know in the adoption process. In my life I have discovered that the more you give the more blessings flow. 

Maybe your asking, what talent can I give? Well, your time:)

Tonight despite the major mess my kids and I made cookies.

 

It surly will be a memory I won't forget! Our black dog ended up with a white head, my kitchen took forever to clean but the giggles are worth it all! 

Happy thanksgiving to you and your family!

Love the Brown family:)
