Friday evening kicked off the celebration of this Christmas Season!!
Mia and Jacob got to watch the lighting of the Christmas Tree at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. This tree is the largest real life Christmas Tree in the U.S. You can literally smell it from the parking lot! The kids got all bundled up in their reindeer fleece body jackets and mittens. We met Daddy after work and had so much fun participating in the festivities!!
Our calendar is packed with exciting outings this Christmas Season. We are so blessed to be able to see Christmas through the eyes of Jacob and Mia. The lights seem to shine a little brighter, the trees smell a little fresher and most of all the GLORY of Christ's birth is a little more personal this year.
Every year we celebrate the seasons real meaning, Jesus Christ our Savior was born!! We reflect on the celebration of His birth, the miracle of His life and the sacrifice of His death. This year however we are more humbled by His goodness, in awe of the miracle of life and in gratitude that we could know what it means to be a parent and to share in the power of loving your child more than you thought you could love. I dont think there is a love more powerful then that of loving your child. It surpasses everything I have ever experienced and is taking our walk with the Lord to new heights. The first time I was able to look into Mia and Jacob's eyes a different kind of love was poured out from the heavens flooding every area of my soul. A love that only the Father could give, a love that not only bonds us to our children but draws us closer to God. He gave his only son to be born on earth as a living sacrifice for our sin so that we could spend eternity with Him. We stand in awe of this love and celebrate this season as new parents, thankful for His gift to us.
