Multitudes on Monday

*I find it ironic that I have been keeping up with my multitudes of blessings each week on EVERY Monday...and the last Monday of the year, I forgot!

809. Christmas Eve with the "BIG" family

810. giving others gifts that are exactly what they wanted/needed

811. Christmas Eve jitters - we didn't think Landon would ever go to sleep!

812. putting gifts together after both kiddos were (finally) asleep

813. soundly sleeping children

814. waiting and waiting and waiting in bed for Ella Beth and Landon to wake up

815. hearing Landon in the living room PLAYING with his toys before he even came to get us (Scott made me wait until the kiddos came to get us - it was so hard!!!)

816. Landon waking Ella Beth up BEFORE he woke us up and yelling, "Ella Beth, come look what we got!")

817. Landon's fascination with his presents. He wanted to play with each one for a good 3-5 minutes before he would open another.

818. Ella Beth's excitement about opening all of her gifts AT ONCE; then she would dig through all of the wrapping paper to find her gifts!

819. getting Ella Beth and Landon the "perfect" gifts - nothing fancy, but exactly what we knew they would really enjoy

820. Scott surprising me with a truly unexpected and perfect gift

821. Christmas morning breakfast with my mom and Scott's parents

822. Christmas dinner with Scott's immediate family - great food and more presents

823. enjoying our family's company and relishing in the miracle of the blessings that God has given to us

824. Jesus, the best gift

2 Corinthians 9:15 "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
