So Saturday, your daddy and I went and bought a few things, to commemorate your first Christmas. Since you are in heaven for your first holiday season I will be sure to keep your things safe for you, but I wanted to show you what we got! :)
 |
| HOT Pink Butterfly Ornament When I saw this I immediately thought of you. |
 |
| Your very first Christmas stocking! (still needing your name at the top) |
 |
| "Every life leaves something beautiful behind" |
 |
| You daddy and I bought this back in July, but what a better time to share it with the world then the Christmas season! |
 |
| This was one of those things that I HAD to have, as soon as I saw it! A "Serenity Angel" pin. |
 |
| It's blurry, but it says "Serenity" on the back. |
 |
| {I like how this picture came out so good you can actually read the WHOLE Serenity Prayer} I wish I could stick one of these in every Christmas card I send this year. If I could afford to, I certainly would! |
Over the next few weeks, I will be acquiring more and more things to commemorate your first Christmas, as I would if you were here. We will be getting our Christmas tree very soon, and replacing our star tree topper with an angel, in your honor. Mommy loves and misses you very much, and even though you can't be here to celebrate this momentous occasion with us, we will still celebrate. Everything we do, and every tradition we carry out, we will be thinking of you. We will be celebrating the birth of someone else's child, also taken too soon. ♥
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking as he did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.

I love you baby!! I hope you all have a special Christmas...<3
All of her special Christmas items are perfect! She will love her first Christmas, smiling down from heaven! I know Serenity and Savannah will wake up bright and early, and sit under the Christmas tree and watch their families from above! :)
{And I recieved a beautiful plaque with the same Serenity Prayer after Savannah [passed. It sits on one of the shelves in our living room!}
Aww! I love that Megan!
I wonder if it is the same plaque with the Serenity Prayer that I have... [These coincidences are starting to scare me. Lol.]
I think this is so awesome! I just want you to know I love you and your blog and I bet our girls are up there watching us and thanking God for giving them such great moms!
Thank you Brittany! <3
