Love Came Down at Christmas

The weather has been crazy around here lately! Typical Texas in the Fall/Winter time though. Yesterday we had a record high of 82 degrees and today it was only 27 degrees after noon!! Brrr! I love it though. It seems to fit the Christmas season whereas hot and sunny just doesn't do it for me! My brother will be coming into town on Friday to spend some time with us for Christmas. I am very excited! He's coming early because he works retail and just doesn't have a lot of time to come due to the busy shopping days. We have lots of fun stuff planned, and of course a lot of it is planned around food! Haha!

The other day Bryan and I found some Christmas music to play in the car and around the house. I love Christmas music so it has been fun having it on while we wrap presents at night or while we spend time with the kids in the evening. Kaden is really beginning to understand more about Christmas this year and it has been fun dancing and singing with him. One of my favorite "new" (newly discovered) songs this year is Love Came Down at Christmas by Jars of Clay. Here are the lyrics:

Love Came Down at Christmas ,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?

Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.


I love the message that it proclaims! Love was born at Christmas! How true that is. By the grace of God, he saved us and he chose to do it through his SON! Amazing! Merry Merry Christmas!

I also have a video to share of MK cruising. This girl has been into everything lately, and she is soo fast! I will sit down after pulling her out of something just in time to see her doing something else! She has been very good with the Christmas tree, but there is this one present that I don't know if it will live until Christmas morning. There is something about that one present that intrigues her. I have already found the bow in her mouth a couple of times! Ha!!

It's not going to be long until you have 2 running around the house! Connor likes to climb on my back just like Kade was doing to Bryan. I have a question about baby legs but I'll email you about it!
