An Early Christmas Gift


I (Alycia) took Caden to get his picture made in a "Santa's Little Helper" suit the other day. It was so fun and I had a hard time choosing just a few poses to purchase. Here are two of the ones I bought - we will save the last one for later!



Being parents is teaching us so much about God and his love for us. We now have a better understanding of how God feels about us - how he ADORES us- since we are HIS children. We also understand a little more how he loves us, laughs with us, celebrates with us and cries with us. We feel a little of the pride God feels when he looks at us - we know that each experience with Caden will teach us more about God and his love for us.

One thing the pictures remind us of is how Caden is a special gift from God. We think this everyday but especially around this time of year it is nice to be reminded. Pretty soon we will be giving thanks for all God has given us, and then we will celebrate the birth of His son, Jesus Christ. I have a feeling that this Christmas we will understand even more how exciting the birth of a precious baby - the birth of our savior - was and is!

I LOVE THEM!
but I love the narrative that you put below it more! You nailed it! I love that the words you put here apply to all of us as parents. I may "borrow" them..... giving you credit of course.
Thanks for sharing!
