1. Getting part of my husband's Christmas shopping done yesterday.
2. How soft my hair feels after switching to a new Shampoo.
3. Hearing our 11 year old son trying to teach our 2 year old to say, "... 'Sup, homebiscuit?!", complete with cheesy
4. Hearing the 2 year old say, "What is up, Home Bigsttthit?" in a very non-gangstuh way, complete with a lisp and a quirky little movement that could in no way be interpreted as cool because it was too stinkin' funny.
5. Getting everything done early in the day yesterday so that I could kick around the mall with my boys for a couple of hours of Christmas shopping before heading for Church.
6. Free Samples at See's Candies
7. Seeing a friend's 6 month old smile when I cooed at him last night.
8. Seeing our 2 year old son's delight at seeing that same baby, and our older son's exclaim later that night that the baby "was so cute with his big brown eyes."
9. Knowing that my friend, who is recovering from her lumpectomy (and currently has a very swollen breast which has made life of late a bit of a challenge) has not allowed this to rob her of her joy or peace, but continues to approach it all with her usual good sense of humor and complete trust in the Lord.
10. Remembering how the last time my son was sick, I tried to reassure him by telling him, "Oh, don't worry, you probably just picked up a stomach bug somewhere..." and how he looked at me with a freaked out look on his face, "B-bug?"
11. Christmas decorations all over our home.
12. The sweet lilt our 2 year old gets in his voice when he sees and gets to hold the baby Jesus in our big Nativity Scene.
13. When our older son asked, "Am I getting too old for toys?" while we were recently discussing Christmas wish lists (worrying about wanting to appear 'mature') and the relief on his face when I said that I thought he still had a couple more years to play with toys (after all, his dad was still playing with Transformers at 16 and he turned out just fine).

Wonderful list!!
My son has renamed the girl's bible study we have at the house to "K Squad Unit Fresh". HUH??? No gangstah signs for it as of yet, though.
Jeff probably still gets up in the night and secretly plays with Jericho's transformers.
I would so love to hear Judah cooing to the baby Jesus that comes from your nativity set.
Tell me what "sup homebiscuit" is supposed to mean?
Can you come decorate my house?
And, I was just joking about Jeff. He's the best.
I like this part of your blog. Always remembering to be thankful for the little things in life.
:)
Becky - these were so wonderful. I loved #3 and #4 - too cute! And, my best wishes to your friend who had the lumpectomy! I also loved #12 and #13 - so sweet and I guess ... I just loved all of them! Take care, Kellan
Love this post. Love children. Love Christmas.
Blessings always,

How come hair feels better when you try a new shampoo?
I try to always think of a few toys for even my older kids. It keeps them from growing up too fast.
What an awesome list! I have got to take the time to make one of my own. Thanks for sharing!
Kids say the funniest things. I love this post... I may just have to do a list too =-).
I loved your post, I especially laughed when I read # 4. :-)
I have lots of nieces and nephews and sometimes the things they are trying to say don’t always come out right. It can be pretty funny at times.

Great list Becky! Your boys are a hoot.
Frumpgram - Men are big boys at heart. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive. ;-)
Now I have the warm fuzzies! :o)
Those were really sweet. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate the prayers.
Hi - saw you at Maria's site today, and just wanted to say Amy D. is my hero, too! Glad that someone else remembers her Tightwad Gazette - that helped us out so much when we were just starting out.
That is a GREAT list. I love it. Tell your son that I buy my 19 year old brother toys every year and he is way WAY cool. No worries. :)
Loved your 13. You are spending the season just how you should--enjoying your family and all the pretty stuff this time of year.
