This year it was so hard for me to get in the swing of things. When I finally felt the "Christmas spirit" Christmas was gone. I remember when I was little my Aunt and Mom would tell me, "Wait until you get older. Christmas goes by really fast, then." They were right.
This Christmas was really fun. We had 2 cutie pies to share it with our little Em and N. Emmie turned 7 months a few days before Christmas. She wanted to play with all the gift bags and tissue paper.....so cute! Nate, my little 3 year old, wouldn't sit on Santa's lap, but w/ the help from Mom and Dad he wrote a letter to Santa and mailed it. He also colored a picture of a truck and gave it to Santa. I love to see the joy and excitement that the magic of Christmas brings to Nate. Wow! That's what Christmas is all about....Magic and BELIEVING.
Christmas morning Santa left "snow" on the fireplace and rug. Nate was mad that Santa left such a mess. We reassured him that it was okay. He said, "Mommy, I'll help you clean up after Santa." He forgot all about the presents under the tree and wanted to clean it right away. What a sweet boy.
I just want to say......Woo Hoo! My tree lasted the whole month. All of my decorations lasted the whole month. I'm one excited Mommy. Thanks, Nate for being such a great listener and helper. You and your sis really made my Christmas MAGICAL. Both of you are my heart. I love you.
