Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

This year has been my favorite Christmas yet.  Why?  Because the kids were so excited and all of the magic of Christmas is so real for them. With each and every gift purchased I couldn't wait to see the smile that it would bring to their face.  This holiday season was filled with hot coco, Santa's lap, snow play, gingerbread houses, parties and parties, family, chocolates, and a lot of baby Jesus talk.  In truth, there was a lot of anticipation of gifts, so I tried to explain to the kids that Christmas is Jesus's Birthday and to remind us all of him and his gift for us, he shares his birthday with everyone (and Santa is his special helper).

Faith got everything princess--only fit for a princess right?

As you can see the jammies didn't last long.  The dress-ups are her favorite.  She always has a princess dress on--even naps in them--and will only take it off if we leave the house. 


Slot car track, bike, and xbox games--does life get any better for a 4-year-old?

Santa enabling the addiction.
All and all it was a great season and I am only glad it's over because all the fun was exhausting?  Now what am I going to hold over their heads?
