In our house we have two very special birthdays on Christmas, Jesus' birthday of course, and Sam. Sam knows he shares his day with someone very special. Because of this, Sam always ends up with extra cake, extra candles to blow out, and of course way, way too many presents. He was thrilled to come out and see a pile of presents and exclaimed "Santa came!" We remind him that we get presents to celebrate Jesus' birthday and we give presents to remind one another of Jesus' love for us all. Sam asked Santa to bring his little brother a belt buckle just like him, so now Zeke will be sporting a belt buckle soon too (he needs to grow just a bit first). Looks like Sam got what he asked for between his birthday and Christmas gifts. We are all very much spoiled by family who sent us lots of gifts, too. It's not the same as being home for the holidays, but we sure feel their love from a far. We spent Christmas evening with some friends and they were gracious enough to let us also celebrate Sam's birthday, too. Sam's favorite color is orange, so the orange m&m's on top of the cake were the best part for him.
