Agustin's First Christmas

After everyone was asleep on Christmas Eve,
I crept out to the living room to set up
the little gifts I'd selected for our guests
and our gift for our Australian boy.
I premade the egg casserole dish
that I hadn't premade.
He won't remember.
And not everything went as planned.
But as I slipped back into bed,
I felt the excitement of Christmas Eve again.
Only this time
I felt like a mommy.

  1. ahhhh,I'm so happy that you feel the joy. Isn't it absolutely wonderful? And the cups are a great beginning of your tradition! It does takes a bit of repetition before everyone catches on to the customized thought!! And even longer(if ever)just how much of your heart is in the thought. Love you THIS MUCH =)
