My son amazes me daily in so many ways but yesterday was awesome. We were driving home from school and he asked me "Mommy after you get baptised and you do something wrong do you go to Hell?" I said no, if you do something wrong then you need to ask the Lord for forgiveness and never do it again. Then as I cringed I said "What did you do?" "Nothing, but are you sure you don't go to Hell?" He asked again. I am sure Tyler.....what happened? My friend did something wrong today at school and he was sad. He wanted to pray so I prayed with him and this is what I said..."Lord please make him not do it again, give him another chance, he's sorry don't be mad at him" Then we got back in line and went outside to play. No fear, no shame, no questioning...just prayed! I asked him if his teacher saw this and he said yes and she cried. Amazing! Although Tyler is in public school this year which was a difficult decision for us, this is a huge payoff. His teacher is a christian and she was touched to see this show of compassion for another student. I couldn't express it enough to Tyler how proud I was of him.
What an awesome way to end my day!
This year we left Tyler's Stocking on his night stand in his room. He came running in our bedroom holding it with the biggest surprised look on his face. He couldn't believe Santa was in his room! Inside he found a Spiderman watch that he had asked him for. Tyler's big gift this year that he has been begging and begging for was a game boy. He still hasn't got used to the fact that we can actually take it wherever we go! 
This is just for all of you ladies out there. My lovely husband wrapped my gifts all by himself....oh yes that box with the old shower curtain around it is for me! 
After seeing what it was I forgave the wrapping.....how do you wrap a scrapbooking suitcase?
Charlie has been wanting an IPod for years so this year he got his wish. He also got an autographed Tom Brady Rookie card.
