Our tree is up and decorated. It's small, beautiful and perfect!
Christmas music is constantly on thanks to free Pandora Radio!We have started the last minute trips to store to get the presents that we forgot to get "way back when we were shopping for Christmas.."
The kids are on a permanent sugar high that will continue until March.
Rich and I are tired, but so excited and ready for "the big day" to come!
The kids have picked up a little bit on the idea of Santa Claus, and its fun to listen to them talk about him. Rich and I talked about how much emphasis we were going to put on Santa, given that sometime gifts, and Santa take over and completely cover up the real meaning of Christmas. We have come to a happy conclusion that includes him, while we focus on the birth of Christ. I love the joy and excitement and happiness that this season brings!
St. Nick came a few days late and brought a shoe-full of goodies for the kids. They loved that!
My mom, sister, Brynn, and myself caught a matinee of the local Nutcracker show. Brynn loved it, but lost interest in the second hour of the ballet.
The kids are amazed at the lights up in the neighborhood, and can't wait to drive at night to be the first one to spot a brightly decorated house.
Maeve has mastered crawling, and her two little chicklet teeth are now visible to everyone! She is smiley, happy and content to be on her own.
I am off to write a Christmas letter, wrap presents and bake some goodies for neighbors! Merry Christmas!
