Christmas in Heaven

I felt that Landry needed something special for his First Christmas. It was so bittersweet when I was walking all over Hobby Lobby trying to find something perfect for Landry's plot. If people passing by and the women checking me out only knew where these precious items were going. I was very pleased with Landry's tree and his special ornaments. I especially love the Snowman Family because the little Snowman is holding a baby........
This is not what I had planned for our first Christmas with Landry and to be honest I wish I did have to buy these items and that I would rather be holding Landry and dressing him in cute Christmas outfits.....
At least Landry will be in our hearts this Christmas and I know that he will have a beautiful and peaceful Christmas in Heaven with Jesus. We love you so much Landry James.

* I read this poem on Sarah and Lisa's Blog but then a special family friend sent us this beautiful poem in their Christmas Card to us.*

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring

for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place.

Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love

so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing

for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.
