look up, for golden is the hour!

last year i had a rough time with the santa situation.

this year i made a plan early.

 to MAKE the real christmas story come alive for my sweet children.

and for me.

in my stage of my story.

christmas will never look just how it looks this year, again.

so, i got together with my friend joy and we put together a creative expression of the nativity, in our own way.

with our treasures.

the entire nativity session is posted on joy's blog.

please visit over there to see them!

as if it could get any better than that,

my new friend marianne offered to film the session.

all these beautiful gifts around me!

i am a blessed friend this chistmas.

truly.

the frosting on top of this giant christmas treat?

the song on the video is one of my favorite songs by my adorable sister, gracie.

this post may just make me explode with happiness!
