Christmas is special each year, but this year has been extra sweet. With a new little brother, time with all of our grandparents, and extra time off for Andrew, we've had a season filled with love, joy, and wonder. I love the magic that Christmas brings. As we wait for our coming Savior, the sweet anticipation fills our homes with a spirit unlike any other season. I am so thankful for another year shared with our children--another year to teach them about Christ's birth, to let them revel in the magic of Santa, to play and bake and unwrap and sing and dance and make forever memories. As this precious time comes to a close and we move into this new year, I pray that the beauty of Christmas will linger in our home, that we will remember that Christ came to us to stay, that He is with us even now, and that the joy of this season can be carried forward throughout the year.
This year we loved our matching PJs.
We decorated the tree.
We made cake...and ate the sprinkles.
We had breakfast with scuba-diving Santa (and Nana and Papa).
We went to Gigi and G's house (and ate more sprinkles there).
We decorated cookies...and ate more sprinkles.
We got new dress-up clothes.
We went to church and left food out for Santa's reindeer.
We made one final round of cookies for Santa...with sprinkles.
Santa came!
We sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.
