Things a father should never be left alone to do with his kids:

1. Put nail polish on
2. Help his daughters with a “Make-Over”
   1. Including lip gloss
   2. Eye Shadow
   3. Blush etc….  this is not something daddy’s are good at!
3. Playing Dress Up
4. Playing with Barbies… especially when you hear this: “Daddy You get the Naked Barbie”

I love my daughters, but look forward to my son getting older.

When I grew up Christmas was a big holiday for my family.  My father was especially fond of it and decked out the outside of the house every year.  I remember we had schematics showing where everything went, how all the rows of light should be placed over the windows on the roof etc.  My father passed away in 1995 and sometimes I reflect on things, especially this time of year since it reminds me of him, also his birthday is in  January.  I used to be very torn up at his loss, but I’ve learned a lot and have grown a lot.  I did however hear this song the other day called Homesick by Mercy Me and it just made me think back about him and Christmas.  Enjoy the song, I know I did.
