Merry Christmas!

It's the day after Christmas and my little boy is sleeping off a fever and a bad cough aka the croup. We spent two hours in the walk-in clinic this morning with many other sick people. My husband left the house at 5:00 AM for a business trip until Friday. But, I'm still here and I'm still happy.

It's so easy to get caught up in the negative things and this Christmas, I made a promise to myself that I would try my best to stay cheerful and positive.....and guess what, it worked! This sounds so cheesy, but attitude is everything! Yes, I could have moped around, drowning in tears from missing Asher, but I choose to rejoice in the birth of our Savior and his gift for us and the promise to be reunited with Asher.

I want to tell you my absolute favorite part about Christmas 2012. It's 9am(my son loves to sleep in, yay!) and we're huddled around the Christmas tree and Darren tells Ethan to get my little present he hid inside the tree(smart hubby!). Great things come in small packages, right? :) Ethan knew right where they had put it and pulls out a small little box from Steel's jewelry....oooh, la, la! As Ethan handed it to me, he said, "Here Mommy, this one's from Baby Asher." I looked at Darren, he shrugs his shoulders telling me he didn't tell Ethan to say that and I just knew at that moment, Asher was all around us, celebrating with us. There was warmth and there was love and something so spiritual about yesterday morning. I am so blessed to have two beautiful sons......

Merry Christmas, friends!! I love you all....
