“Mom, this is the best Christmas ever!” Tom said, out of the blue a full 3 days before Christmas.
“Why’s that, baby?” I asked, thinking it might have something to do with the gift exchange at my mom’s house the night before.
“Because I love you,” he said simply. Then he gave me a quick hug and a Tommy-Boy-Thousand-Watt-Smile before bounding off to play with his brothers.
And THAT is what Christmas is all about.
Oh, I’m tearing up. Those moments of sweetness are what keep mothers semi-sane.
THAT is the sweetest boy ever!!! 🙂
You are a lucky woman, and a smart one too to be growing boys as gorgeous as that!
While it can’t compete with Tom, nonetheless Happy Christmas to you and yours!
Barbara — I’m laughing at how apt that statement is. You are exactly right.
Tessa — yes, he IS the sweetest boy ever…or at least one of 4. 🙂
Kate — Thank you so much and a very Merry Christmas back to you!
That was so much better than Dillon saying “Mommy, your present is the whole family!” Merry Christmas, Jodi!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Angie!
how utterly beautiful. 🙂
happy new year to you and all of yours.
(thanks for your comment on my blog – you got the second two spot on 🙂 the first one is a sun-flower-swift, one of the wooden style with pegs. yay!)
