Holiday Happiness

Peace.
Love.
Joy.

These are common words during the holiday season.
But never have they been so much a part of my Christmas celebrations as they were this year.

For example...

The peace I feel when I look at my family.
The loving bond that only a mother and son can share.
The joy found on a little boy's face who is seeing a Christmas tree light up for the very first time.
The peace of a sleeping baby who will one day do great things.

The love in a mother's eyes as she watches her son take in the most wonderful time of the year.
The joy exuding from a one-year-old as he explores a fascinating world of white.
Thanks to these examples of true holiday cheer,
my Christmas this year was simply magical.

And now: the obligatory Christmas morning pictures...

Love much,
Beth
