The Reason for the Season

As Christmas day is fast approaching, I find myself making lists, checking them twice, running last minute errands, wrapping presents and baking frantically. In the middle of all that, last Monday Blake and I had the privalege to attend our very first Happy Birthday Jesus party. Our group of moms at church have done it annually but this was the first one for us. I can't describe the overwhelming feelings I had watching my little guy color a picture of baby Jesus in the manger and sing with him happy birthday to Jesus. I am so amazed and humbled to watch my son have his first experiences about Jesus and to help him learn what it is all about. I am so thankful that the party refocused me and reminded me to be thankful for what Christmas is all about. He is the reason for the season :)
