Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a month full of wonderful times with family and friends. I love the warm homes, the lights and all the yummy food. This year was especially different because of Cooper. Even though he is still young and really didn't know what was going we enjoyed every bit of this season. We are also very blessed because he is such an amazing baby. We went to quite a few gatherings and he was a champ. Probably one of my favorite moments from this Christmas was the Xmas eve service. We went to the 930 service after one of our many family Christmas gathering thinking Coop would be asleep. But we were wrong. As we sat in the church crying room that overlooked the whole congregation Cooper sat & listened to all the music and never once made a noise, just stared out. When it was time for us all to light our candles Coopers face lite up and my heart melted. As we sang those special words...
"Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother & Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace"
I felt so blessed to be standing in a packed room full of believers, holding my son & standing next to my husband on the eve of our Lord's birth. It was a feeling I don't know if I can express into words but I will remember it forever.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!!!
