Winter Wonders 2012: Christmas 2012

 

 

This was a great Christmas season!  As always this is the time to see family that we haven't seen in months, eat great food, and relax. 

Christiana's christmas outfits

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above...
~ James 1:17 From KJV

     Yesterday was my sweethearts first Christmas! She looked absolutely adorable...I sound like one of those moms that think they have the cutest baby! Anyhow she had 3 outfits (possibly 4 if you include her Christmas pjs)

     Her first outfit was for her Santa picture & was supposed to be worn during our annual Christmas breakfast (which was postponed since momma was in the hospital). She looked totally fabulous!

Munchie was NOT feeling Santa

     Her second outfit was worn on Christmas eve. Her Gammy bought her and her cousin matching dresses. Don't they look just darling?!

     Her third outfit was her "My first Christmas" shirt with ruffle butt bloomers. I thought she looked utterly cute in this outfit too!  Man I sound like one of those moms that think their child looks cute in everything!  Oh well, she DOES look cute in everything. ;OP

I just love ruffles on the butt!

     If you want to include her pjs as her fourth Christmas outfit, then let's include it. This outfit you would call the "the night before Christmas & let's open my presents & veg all day" outfit. This is another Gammy purchase. :0) Munchie & Tutti had matching pjs. I love this kind of stuff!

     I truly wish my momma was home to see her little grand daughter in her Christmas outfits. Luckily I took tons of pictures to share with her when she comes home or at least when she's alert.

I'm still missing my momma!

 

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

Psalm 28:7-8

Christmas 2010

     Man do I miss my momma! Yesterday makes week 3 that my momma has been in the hospital and yesterday was Christmas. :0( Three weeks of not being able to communicate with her has been a little rough; there have been times when I felt like calling her and realized that i couldn't call. Last Saturday when me and my sister went to visit her she was soooo alert and playing with us (in her own way of course since she still isn't able to talk since she has the ventilator tube going into her mouth), it gave us some comfort. Now this past week it's been totally different. She's all drugged up and hasn't been as alert like she was last Saturday. :0(

     When she was first admitted to the hospital I asked the Lord for strength and he has answered my prayer request wholeheartedly! Thank you Jesus for being by my,actually my families side during this rough time. What would we do without you? We would be a total basket case. I'm sitting here listening to "it ain't over (until God says it's over)" by the gospel singer Maurette Brown-Clark...great song for my family or for anyone going through a difficult time.

I had to play the song a couple of times to help me remember who is in charge.


Read the lyrics:

    It Ain't Over (Until God Says It's Over) by Maurette Brown-Clark [Christian Single Release Promo 2008]


Verse I
I know the odds look stacked against you
And it seems there's no way out
I know the issue seems unchangeable
And that there's no reason to shout
But the impossible is God's chance
To work a miracle, a miracle
So just know

Chorus
It ain't over until God says it's over
It ain't over until God says it's done
It ain't over until God says it's over
Keep fighting until your victory is won

Verse II
He never said it would be easy (not going to be easy but your a winner)
But you're a winner in the end
(Jesus defeated)Jesus defeated all your enemies
(way before the fight began) Way before the fight began
But the impossible is God's chance
To work a miracle, a miracle
So just know

Chorus

Bridge
When people say you can't, remember
(He can, He can)
When you don't know what you're gonna do,
Please remember
(He has the master plan)
He will free you from your sin
And give you peace within
So hold your head up high
You're gonna win
(You're gonna win)

Chorus

Vamp
Keep fighting, keep praying, keep fasting
It ain't over, no
Keep pressing, progressing, keep moving
It ain't over, no
Keep reading, interceding, keep believing
It ain't over, no
Keep trusting, keep trying, keep travailing
It ain't over, no
Keep living, keep giving, keep going
It ain't over, no (8x)
Keep fighting until your victory is won
