What a great list of Christmas gifts! Love that you were able to participate in your son's conversation about God. As a mama of two talkers, I know the temptation to tune out sometimes :) Discovered your blog from Ann's and will be back! Happy New Year! May God bring you many more sweet gifts in 2012!!!
