Look at those 6 smiling angels sitting under my Christmas tree! They are the greatest gifts I have ever received (next to their dad). When I look at them and I realize that last year we didn't have Mae, and the year before that we had no intention of having her, I can't believe how close we came to missing out and how blessed we are to be together. Mae partially owes her existence to her older siblings, especially Hanna and Nolan, who kept asking me if we could have a baby sister. Even though I always told them no, their Christlike requests struck a deep chord in me. I didn't know at the time that another baby was what I really wanted too. And I know that her dad feels the same way. He loves our old babies and our new baby SO much. Reed is so enamored with his new sister that he asked for a baby doll for Christmas. He says he loves Mae "bigger than everything!" We are a blessed and happy family. The greatest gifts are people to love, and that's all I can think about this Christmas.
