Merry Christmas

Well it is now past, but wow was it awesome. I keep waiting for Pearl to become like every other kid I now that wants more and more gifts. However she just keeps on surprising me. She wanted to give more than receive. Pearl was content after opening one or two gifts to just be and enjoy the company and fellowship of those there. Pearl also made it through the sermon for both Sunday and Christmas Eve service. My prayer is that this will continue through out 2008. I think we have found a home for just about all the new stuff Pearl got for Christmas. Who would have thought such a little girl could get sooooooo much stuff. She is very blessed and loved. From what I can tell pearl's favorite two things of the Christmas season has been talking to Baby Jesus and looking for him as we see Christmas decorations, and counting down to Christmas using the Nativity count down calendar we have hanging in our kitchen.
