Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. I just LOVE the spirit and the meaning behind it, along with all the decorations, hot chocolate and Christmas movies. Let me just say though, Christmas is AWESOME when you have your own kids! There is just something so magical about watching their innocent eyes light up over the lights, presents, music, and spirit of Christmas.
I told myself I was going to be DONE shopping for Christmas to actually enjoy the holiday (because shopping and crowd fighting is my least favorite part). Surprisingly, I was actually done a couple weeks before Christmas.
We woke up Christmas morning and saw all the pretty things that NK got from Santa. She was super sweet! She was picked up every individual toy and exclaimed what it was. My favorite part was when she picked up her book bag from Pottery Barn and said, "A bag! From mallmart (walmart)!" Haha! It tickled me.
She immediately set up a tea party for her new babies at her new table and chair set!
Then we went to Nana's house where she got even more neat stuff!
Finally, we went to my mama's house (Granna-Mimi) and NK got a Barbie Jeep and more baby dolls!
This year was exceptionally special because our family from Florida came up to my parent's house, rather than us driving down there. It was so much fun! And also very nice not to have a 4 hour round trip to try to fit in the day.
We were super blessed!
Thank you Lord for this special holiday. Thank you for sending your son Jesus to die for us and our sins. Please help us always keep him the center of this holiday and remember the true reason for the season. Thank you for my beautiful family and all my many blessings, that is the best Christmas gift I could ever think of receiving!
