Tomorrow is the day before Christmas Eve and I am so excited! Our church has been doing an incredible series on Revolutionary Love (more about it below) and tomorrow they announce that we're getting together on Christmas Eve around 4pm (so I won't be there because I'll either be: A. Sitting in traffic:( or B. Picking up Lincoln from my mom's house) to pass out Krispy Kreme donuts to people in the community who have to work that evening. A guy at our church either manages/owns a Krispy Kreme and is donating 250 boxes of donuts! It's been pretty sweet the last few weeks seeing everyone step up...Lincoln has started going into the nursery at church which is okay, especially since I've started volunteering again. At 3 months we don't allow children in the service (to keep distractions down, allow us to deal with mature subjects...and the kids area is phenomenal) so the week before he turned 3 months in he went. He does fine...He gets held a lot and receives lots of attention no matter where we are so I don't worry about him being upset (and that's good b/c he never is).
Christmas Day should be fun. Tim and I are getting Lincoln a few gifts, but not a lot b/c in reality he doesn't understand any of it and won't remember anything. We are spending Christmas Day morning with Tim's parents and then the rest of the day with my family. Kevin is flying so we will celebrate Christmas on Friday. We plan on baking cookies that afternoon/evening and take them out to police/fire departments for fun. I'm very excited about that.
Below are pictures of our new crib. Our friend painted LJ's name on it as well as painted it white along with our other furniture...
From earlier this month....(I was having issues getting the video to load so it took some time)
So it's Christmastime in Georgia which means a week of 40-50 degree weather and then today...70! We have the tree up and the mantel decorated. We're going for a low-maintenance Christmas this year. We are trying to focus more on our family and less on the craziness of Christmas:) Our church is doing a series called "Revolutionary Love" and I have to say that so far it is my favorite. Last Sunday the church gave back the offering to everyone and asked them to use it to bless someone.

The stories are amazing and show why this truly is my favorite time of the year!
The below video is from the birth of Lincoln. I've had a few people ask about it. You don't see the actual surgery, but you can see Lincoln coming out and Tim does a little dance at one point! :)
