Today, we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We pray that you will take the time to look at the humble way in which the Lord came to earth, born of a virgin and in a stable trough meant for animals. We have so much to be thankful for, most of all that Christ came as our gift of salvation. Please don't get wrapped up in the many gifts that you may receive but take the time to think on the gift that Jesus gives to each one of us if we choose to accept Him. Luke 2:11 says, "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Christ came to be our Savior, to save us from our sins so that we may spend eternity with Him. As you reflect this day, think about what Christ has done and is doing for you in your lives each day. We wanted to share some pictures with you from today and also from a short trip that we took to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia a couple of weeks ago. It is a resort that has a huge indoor water park, so even when it's cold outside it's not there. We all really enjoyed it and they had the lodge beautifully decorated for Christmas. It was nice to be able to relax a little. Today, we remember Isaac as well, knowing that he is watching us from heaven with our Savior, Jesus. Thank you all for continuing to keep us in your prayers as we continue healing through this time in our lives. We know that the Lord is comforting us through His word and His people. We appreciate all of the cards and encouragement that you have provided to us. We love all of you very much and we pray that you have a very Merry Christmas!!!

I just wanted to wish the Santimaw family a Merry Christmas ,and pray that the New Year bring you hope ,joy and prosperity! I was fortunate to have cared for Isaac ,and got to spend some special days with him.He taught me to be strong and hopeful,and to never give up .But the most important lesson I learnt is that God's will prevails over all,and however diffcult it may seem,He knows what is best for us.Reading through your blog has been very helpful and comforting.Your tremendous spirit and strength has helped me to begin healing as well.I cannot express how much we look forward to hearing from our families and our precious little ones. Thank you for sharing and thank you for those special days with Isaac.
Thank you for thoughtful words of encouragement and we are thankful that Isaac was able to be a blessing to you as well. God's will is prevailing and He does know what is best for us even though the pain is still so real for us. Thank you also for caring for Isaac, we so appreciate it. You have a special place in our hearts for the loving care that Isaac received.
