Christmas

Just like that another Christmas is over... a truly wonderful holiday season this year.  For the first time in a long time there was no holiday stress to get everything just right.  I really enjoyed each day leading up to Christmas... and really looked for all the magic that each day holds during this time of year. Little bug sleeping with his Santa hat and tree on... Ainsley constantly singing her part of her solo (for choir) to make sure it was just right ..Little Bug curled up reading by the tree and all of us curled up on the couch watching all our favorite holiday movies!

This year was the year that I really realized that the kiddos are older... they decorated their own tree, helped put up the Christmas village, and put up all the ornaments on the big tree... there was no racing to see who could put up the most ornaments, no fighting as to who was doing what... no yelling "to slow down... use two hands... or wait for all of us"

As usual I love to look at last years Christmas day readiness and compare it to this years... so fun all the changes!
