Tis the holiday season.....

Well maybe not so much! Why is it so hard to get families together these days? Everyone is busy with their families and it is hard to get everyone together, especially for Christmas.

It breaks my heart that Christmas (lets add any holiday for that matter) has become one big hassle to get everyone together. I know that God gives each family test to deal with, but I feel as if we have been given a handful of test at one time!

We have come to take in the fact that Christmas in our family will not be the same this year. For one, we have a new baby and are trying our best to make it a wonderful holiday season for him. However, when you add family issues, Jason working two jobs, unexpected puppies, and people dead set on making family traditions for their own families, I don't know how we are suposed to make all this work.

Is it too much to ask for a family to get together and spend a few hours together on Christmas? We have traditions that we would like to start for Leland, but the most important thing to us is getting together with family.

God I pray that you will work our family issues out and let us get together with our family for Christmas, no matter where it is, and make the best of a not so good situation. I also pray that you will put the true Christmas spirit back in people and let them see that it is not a hassle, but the best season of the year and all that matters is spending some quality time with family whom you love the most!

Jason and I were married on March 1, 2008. We are each others best friend and wouldn't trade our lives for anything! Jason was born and raised in Newnan, GA and I was born and raised in Birmingham, AL where we now live. We have an awesome family that is always there for us. We had a beautiful baby boy, Leland Matthew, on July 22, 2009. He is now growing like a weed and so much fun! We have a very hectic life, but we love it! We take everything that God gives us and deal with it the best we can. We know he has a plan for our family and can't wait to see what the future brings!!
