Christmas Break 2011

Christmas break has been wonderful. My hubby gave me an early present since the boys were out of school and he knew I would need some alone time here and there. I had been thinking about getting another Nook, but over and over I read incredible reviews about the Kindle products and I guess my hubby had too because he got me a new Kindle Fire! I have already found so many uses for it including not only reading all my favorite books, but also keeping the boys occupied at the grocery store with games, watching Netflix beside hubby while he watches football, and even getting on Facebook before bed! I recommend the Kindle Fire to all of you if you are thinking about buying a reader.

We also went and picked up Kobe to celebrate Christmas with our favorite buddy! I took them for lunch, then we went to Chuckles to blow off some energy, and we finished our night with a movie date. The boys cried when he left - and I have a feeling he will be back before break is over :)

The boys had a Christmas program at school and DJ and I both were lucky enough to get to attend. Ace played a mouse and Blaze sang Rudolph. It was the very play that they had been in together so it was a proud mama moment! I attended both of their school parties the day before break and I had alot of fun meeting some of their friends at their new school. This picture was taken in Ace's classroom. By the way, they have the best teachers they have ever had! I am so thankful that my children are being taught by such amazing women - we really lucked up!

The boys made a Santa letter at school and I was very suprised to read what Ace had to say. He asked Santa for a ring for his mom - and the waterworks came out big time! For about 3 years now, Ace is constantly telling me that he wishes he could marry me instead of daddy. He has "stolen" my ring a few times only to hide it behind his back, get on one knee, and beg me to "break up with daddy and marry him." To say he is a mama's boy is an understatement, but his love for me reminds me why I love my children so much. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a mother to these two precious boys, along with a few angels :)

What have you been doing on Christmas Break with your children? I would love to hear some stories!

And before I forget, let me go ahead and address something really quick. I posted less than a month ago a random family post and a "reader" commented on it about witchcraft and how some healer had helped her and she just wanted me to try him too. I have not responded to her nor do I know her, but my healer's name is Jesus! I do not believe in witchcraft nor would I ever try another religion to "heal me" of my miscarriages. I know that children are a gift from the Lord and his timing is always perfect! Just wanted to let you all know in case you read the comment and wondered where she came from or why I did not respond.
