Christmas is my favorite time of year. The music, the decorations, the parties, the family, the friends, selecting that "perfect" present, Christmas movies, and the "magical" wonder that my kids still hold as they both celebrate the fact that Jesus came to earth in the form of a man, and the possibility that something big and magical can be hoped for.
The kids still have faith. They believe in the birth of Jesus and get excited to celebrate His birth.
They also believe in Santa, reindeer, elves (specifically Rudy), though Porter is becoming skeptical...
Nonetheless, Rudy returned on December 1st.
Emma Rose said, "Rudy HAS to be real because mom would NEVER let us eat donuts for breakfast..."
Emma Rose has been busy "making" Christmas gifts for the family almost every day after school. But she got her inspiration, I believe, when Grandma took us to "Canvas N Cocktails" to creat a Christmas picture - of course, Emma Rose marched to the beat of her own creative drum...
The kids and I have been busy wrapping presents, making cookies, and the kids did an AWESOME job making their own gingerbread house, tout seul!
Corey and I attended our awesome, annual neighborhood Ugly Christmas Sweater party. I was "Naughty" most of the night... Corey was petted...
Rudy has been up to no good, and the kids relish in finding him up to shenanigans each day.
Here are some of his 2018 tricks:
We've had fun looking at lights as well - especially this year's display at WaterWorld!!!
And my favorite picture of the month - Porter and Duke snuggling while The Santa Claus plays...
Merry Christmas!
