"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Christmas Morning

Santa came! I almost wonder if he wasn't really paying attention to how "naughty or nice" the kids had been this year... especially the naughty parts! All three kiddos got exactly what they asked Santa for. Chloe got a scooter, Cooper got a ladybug Pillow Pet, and Piper, well, she got a ride on giraffe that she didn't even know she wanted!

The adorable Baron kids!
