O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

I uploaded the pictures to this post last week but didn't have time to finish writing and post before Christmas Day and going out of town.

I got up a little earlier on Christmas Sunday to make sure we had enough time to take pictures before we left for church.  The Sunday before Christmas is special to me.  I always look forward to worship on Sunday morning, but we've been celebrating advent the whole month of December so I felt that my heart was more prepared for it this year.  Everything about Christmas is so fun from white lights to reindeer and I have no problem enjoying them all as long as we stay focused on our Savior's birth.  God sacrificed His ONLY son for us sinners who can do nothing to deserve it.  As I delight in watching my beautiful boy grow every day I can only begin to understand what a huge sacrifice that is.
