When my sons were born, this former 2nd grade teacher was inspired and proud to create original birth announcements.

I handcrafted dozens of darling little football players wearing green and gold (of course!) with the number 12 emblazoned on their chests to announce Jon’s birthday on October 12th.

I lovingly cut and pasted dozens of mini Milwaukee Brewers wearing jersey number 11 to announce Jeff’s November 11th birthday.

While acknowledging these two miracles, did my Heavenly Father just smile while he witnessed my attempts to tell the world my great news?

After all, HE announced the birth of HIS precious baby son with a star in the heavens . . .
A star so brilliant that the shepherds and the Wise Men followed.
A star so brilliant that I follow . . .

And I’m awed that my Creator allowed me to share a spectacular moment. . .
A proud mother . . . A proud father . . .
Christ is born! Allelulia!

“For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given.” – Isaiah 9:6
