Beauty from Ashes

Our (court) order includes a holiday schedule.

We get our little buddy on Christmas, they get him on Christmas Eve.

When you say it that way, it seems so, oh, I don’t know, legal.

Which it is and it isn’t.

Anyways, a few weeks before Christmas I felt it in my spirit to invite them (his other grandparents) over to open presents with us on Christmas Day.

And they said yes!!!

It was everything I hoped it would be.

Tom and I, our two boys (one of them is the daddy), my dad, our little buddy, and his other grandparents all sat around the tree.

We visited, we laughed, we exchanged gifts, and I cried.

God is so good!!!
