Christmas 2010 was filled with normal traditions, reading about the Birth of Christ, mugs of hot cocoa, presents, etc. But we also had a little Christmas miracle. We put up our little tree like we do every year and decorated it like we do every year. But this year when the kids woke up on Christmas morning, our tree had grown! Our friends, the Genteman family, had an extra 9' tree that was given to them when their house caught fire in 2009 at Christmas time. They asked if we'd like it since our new house has a vaulted ceiling. They wanted to make it a secret, so the whole family came over on Christmas Eve after our kids were in bed. They helped us get it set up and even stayed to help us decorate it. It is the most beautiful, pre-lit tree! The kids were amazed at it and at how it came to be in our house. We tell them it was a miracle-and it was.
