wednesday harold and i got to auburn and decided to go eat wings at touchdown's. we had been going to wing night there since we first started dating. we used to eat for 7 bucks when they were .25 a piece but now they've gone up to .35 so it wasn't as cheap a date. silly inflation. and it wasn't near as good...quite as clean...and a bit too loud as i remembered. or maybe it was just me. and my age. yeah probably that. but it was sure nice to have a date with my husband who is every bit as good looking as back then. maybe even a little more ;)
thursday {thanksgiving day} was great. we had around 25 people at dinner {kids included} and again i got not one picture. except a few of the kids playing on the porch. here's cissy {my mom} and the two crumb-snatchers she had attached to her hip at all times the whole 4 days...between them both we must have heard 'cissy, cissy' 3 million times. maybe 4.
on to iron bowl friday. winn was ready to go early. he had on his arse-kicking boots and was ready to take on the tide.
i'm finally starting to think about christmas. this is a very special time for us as believers so more than anything else i am trying to figure out ways to show my 18-month old the real wonder and awe of this season. bit by bit she will come to understand just how much of a miracle the virgin birth was. and more importantly how that night changed history for ever and ever. and if i may let me encourage you to do the same. read the account of jesus' birth in the 4 gospels each day before christmas. read the prophecy from the old testament about his coming birth. think..really think...about what it must have been like for those around during this time. think about mary and what it must have been like for her. these stories are not fictional. they aren't made up, they aren't exaggerated. if you are believer these are the stories of your heritage and the unfolding of the plan to save your life. a gift was given to you that made no difference if you were naughty. it was given out of love. please don't be satisfied with santa when you have been given a savior. there is more miracle and wonder and joy in the birth of our savior than we'll know. and it goes wayyyyy past december 25th. in fact it goes on forever. thank god.
so here's to december. don't know about ya'll but around our house and heart it's beginning to look alot like christmas....
