Zach's first Christmas has been building with anticipation. With our Christmas parties, Advent services, decorative lights, holiday baking, and last minute shopping, it's been a busy month. We headed northwest in search of the perfect Christmas tree. We found a great blue spruce (20 ft) which Aaron single handedly took down and drug back to the Jeep. Zach enjoyed riding in his sled while mom and dad searched and searched and searched. I think we'll do it again next year! Christmas sure seems a lot more fun now with Zach, he adds a whole new dimension and feeling to the season. Shopping for presents seems more fun now that we get to find ourselves back in the toy department! :) (Aaron's already checking out the latest Lego collections.) This year has been one of the most amazing and I can only imagine the joy that Mary felt as she held her newborn baby close. To know the power he had and the task ahead I can only image what thoughts went through her head. As a mom I like to think about how much happiness and excitement she had that first Christmas season.
