A SPECIAL VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS

A SPECIAL VISIT FROM St. NICHOLAS
What a true blessing to have Santa Clause (St. Nicholas) and his beautiful wife, Mrs Clause pay us a special visit.

They reflect the love of Christ, as Santa Clause knelt down to show our children his grand black belt that is adorned with images of the Nativity.  He explained that Santa Clause loves and serves our Lord with his entire heart!! The joy that Santa and Mrs Clause shared with our family was unsurmountable and we are so grateful that we were blessed with such a special charity.  They are truly humble and jubilant servants. Thank you.
OH.....BTW: Isaac asked for raisins for Christmas.

GRACIE ANN PREPARING TO MEET ST. NICK
 This outfit has ruffles bottoms on the back too!!
 Gracie Ann was TOTALLY PUTTING UP with me dressing her as she does NOT like having her clothes changed AT ALL
 This is how much Gracie Ann LOVED being dressed to meet Santa
This is her infamous "pouty face" and I can't help but love it to pieces 

Then she finally tired herself out, fussing, and fell asleep

FINALLY THE DOORBELL RANG......WHO COULD IT BE?
ALL OF OUR 5 KIDS WERE SO EXCITED...FROM OLDEST TO YOUNGEST
Isaac was elated!
 He wanted all of US to see that Santa was here as he was jumping around saying "look look Santa!"
 Santa adored little Gracie Ann as she slept.....he said that he and Mrs. Clause had been, and continue to pray for our little one each day...what a blessing
 As stated earlier.....Isaac asked Santa to bring him raisins for Christmas
 Shiny Buttons!!!  What happens if you push them
Mrs Clause just snuggled Gracie Ann with such gentleness as only Mrs. Clause could.....she loves all children so much

Mrs Clause and Isaac
If you look carefully at this picture....in the background you can see Jeremy showing Santa the difference between the media devices that we use here, as opposed to those in the North Pole, that the elves are familiar with
 Christmas cuddling....they could have literally fallen asleep together.  Gracie Ann was so comfortable as she just melted into Santa's warm and soft coat 
 Madison's turn
 Savannah Banana's Turn
And finally Nicholas's Turn to sit on Santa's lap

Thank You my Dear Lord Jesus for allowing us to share in Your most joyous birthday
Your Incarnation...Your birthday affects all of Your children on earth (both believers and non believers) because You are the True Alpha and Omega....You are The "Am Who Am"

God said to Moses: "I am who am". He said: "Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: "He Who Is, hath sent me to you."
Exodus 3:14

What a GREAT beginning to our Advent Journey

Happy Birthday and I love you Lord Jesus
Love, kerry ann
