I want to be an avid blogger and make it look all cute and creative, but I haven't been able to slow down and play with it yet!!!! Ok..now that I have gotten that out....
I LOVE CHRISTMAS and all of the things about it!
I think that each year as a mommy and a wife I am realizing how important it is to make memories that last. This year I have tried real hard to be creative and do things that maybe I wanted to do as a child with my child. We have made ornaments and gingerbread houses, traveled far to see beautiful Christmas lights, learned Christmas songs with Ayden, watched two Christmas plays, made lots of Christmas candy, and most importantly...we have made Jesus the main focus of all of our festivities. Without Christmas there would be no Easter and to have both of these we need Jesus. So to not forget the real meaning of Christmas we have just been really mindful of how we celebrate it :) .
Not that we haven't been enjoying the fun and beauty of the holiday! We took Ayden to see Santa and it was going pretty well until he spotted the large radio controlled trainset that was close by. Then he made a beeline to the big toy!!! Needless to say, our picture with Santa is not very happy, but on the other hand..we know that Ayden will LOVE his gift that Santa is bringing ;) .
