Right Down Memory Lane....

My how the years have passed us by!!!
 Our children are growing right before our eyes. Thank God for pictures and memories held close to the heart. These are the memories I will always cherish...Those of when my children were younger, the many Christmas Morns we have shared. I remember each as if they were yesterday...Our son's first 6 Christmas seasons before he had a little sister to share them with..The many Santa laps they sat on as they gave out their Christmas lists. The snow they played in and built snowmen, made snowangels and had snow ball fights.

 
The several Christmas' where we didn't have much...but, we had one another. Even the Christmas morns we shared with our beloved pets. Our children are still young I know... Which we will share many more moments like these ( Lord willing ). Until one day they will have their own Christmas traditions with their own children. Which I am sure there will be some still spent with us in our old age. LOL!

 

I look back at just these several Christmas moments ago

 and can't believe how they have flown by.

 Yet we are so very blessed to have them.

 I will cherish each and every one as a gift.

Thanks for coming along with me....

Blessings to you the Christmas Season.

A Childhood Christmas Memory

I don't know if it was the many years of moving around or what, but I confess I don't remember many of my childhood memories or most of my Christmas memories. Perhaps I blocked them out, or I just can't pin point where and when things took place due to the fact I can't even count on my fingers how many times we moved. Yet, I do remember this Christmas...Maybe it is these pictures that help me to remember,I was probably almost or about two years old. My parents got me this little tomato character which was a little train. I remember holding this brilliant red toy and playing with it. No wonder I am so attracted to red!
 I remember pulling it around the carpet...
 It must have been one of my favorite gifts that year. I can still see it it my mind...
Too bad I don't have that toy anymore.

 

Oh that robe! I love it...Thanks Mom.....
 I really wish I still had that robe too!
 It is so stinkin' cute
 and so me, might I add.
 Man! If only I can find one just like it but in my size.
Well, there are several nice Christmas memories
 I have tucked in my heart somewhere I promise...
 yet, so very sad many years seem to be erased.
 I wish to remember my childhood Christmas'.
 Maybe that is why it is so important to me to make
 sure my children have lot's of traditions and memories...
 I pray they will never forget!
