Its all happening!!!

I had been at home all day baking and getting ready for the holiday with family. Michael had taken the kids out to take photos with Santa and finish up some last minute Christmas Shopping. When he arrived back home, he seemed anxious and giddy. As we finished the chores of the day, I began arranging some of the gifts underneath our very first Christmas tree together when I found a small purple box. I screamed and dropped it. I turned to Michael and I practically yelled at him, "What is this?! Are you serious?!" He tried to play cool, but the cat was out of the bag. My sweet Michael bent down on one knee, with our children standing behind him and asked me to be his wife!!!! His plan had been to ask for my father's blessing that night at Christmas Eve dinner and then propose on Christmas morning, but silly me foiled that plan. It was perfect just the way it was, and I will NEVER forget that perfect moment when I said YES!
