Christmas 2012
Hey everyone! We hope you’re enjoying this wonderful
Christmas season as we are. I think this is the first Christmas letter I’ve
ever done.
2012 was an interesting year to say the least. It didn’t
start the best when January 19th we sent our second baby to be with
Jesus. We are doing better- time and God are continuing to heal our hearts.
Nick has also changed jobs and is currently the store manager at Honeybaked
Ham. The manager aspect of it is great for him, but these insane holiday hours
are, well, insane. This has been the first full year I’ve been a stay-at-home
mom and I love it but it definitely is the hardest job I’ve had, though it's the best!
Talia’s adorable, very high energy, and doesn’t stop
talking. Her favorite things to say lately are “What’s that?” and “What doing?”
and “What’s up?” so we are constantly answering questions. This is the hardest
age (so far) I think, but also the best. They drive you absolutely insane, but
they’re so cute doing it that you let them get away with it. I think this is
the first Christmas that Talia is actually starting to grasp it all, and we
love watching Christmas through her little almost 3 year old eyes. Her
favorites are looking at Christmas lights, Christmas trees, eating cookies (of
course what toddler doesn’t love that…), and oo-ing and aw-ing over Baby Jesus.
She has this obsession with babies lately, so whenever she sees a Baby Jesus
she gets this high-pitched voice and says something like “Aww Baby Jesus! So
little!” The girl loves animals too so any Nativity Scene is a huge thing for
her.
We are expecting our third little munchkin come April of
next year. We found out it’s a girl last week. Prayers for this little one’s
continued health would be greatly appreciated!
Merry Christmas to all our family and friends! May God bless
each one of you abundantly this coming year!
Love,
Nicholas, Sarah, and Talia Brown
