It has been another cold and rainy weekend but that hasn't stopped my boys from playing outside. Kevin continues to humor me by putting up more Christmas lights, this time on the back porch. After all, one can never have enough colored lights to make the house feel festive.
There was always something comforting about the Christmas lights glowing through my bedroom window in my childhood. It made the night seem peaceful and gave me hope that the day to follow was full of promise. These days, my life is busy with work and my other full time job, motherhood, but I am still drawn to the Christmas lights at night.
We have been talking to Brandon (and Mason) about the meaning of Christmas and that we will soon be buying gifts for our unknown "friends" from the angel tree. Again this year, I find myself more excited about buying gifts for those kids than for my own! I also think we will (again) participate in the annual diaper drive (for both children and adults). After all, there are many people who need help.
