Happy birthday, birthday, birthday &... birthday

December was a month full of gift wrap, Christmas lights, ornaments, chaos, balloons, shopping, birthday parties, holiday carols & PRESENTS GALORE!  Not only did we celebrate my birthday but we also celebrated Megan & Caleb's birthday!  For those that do not know, we have three birthdays in the same week of the same month.  Not only is Megan's birthday on the 26th but Caleb's birthday is on the 20th, which is also my birthday. Yes, you read that correct!  Caleb was born on my birthday..and NO that was not planned.  On top of that we also celebrate Jesus' birthday and Christmas.  As you can imagine, this particular month is crazy, fun, joyful, stressed yet VERY BLESSED all at the same time.  Thankfully with Walter by my side to keep me grounded and lots of PRAYER I have survived!!! 

On this day 10 years ago, our little Megan came into the world. (The day we brought her home from the hospital)

Happy Birthday Megan

On this day, 32 years ago I came into the world.   (My mother & me on the day I was brought home from the hospital ..was I a chunk or what??)

On this day 4 years ago, Caleb came into the world (Megan meeting her little brother for the first time)

 

Happy 4th Birthday Caleb!

Looking back over the years, watching my children grow.. the Lord has really shown me how blessed I am....how blessed we are as a family.  My life is filled with many ups and downs but one thing is for sure.. I have a wonderful, healthy & beautiful family.  No matter how we celebrate, no matter what present I receive...what truly matters to me is my God and my family.  That is my greatest gift of all.
