Merry Christmas!!!!

Santa in the school room

Our singing buddies in the kitchen

The gingerbread house, also in the kitchen (it better be! :)

Some of our stockings...(mine is the big, happy doll)

Last but not least, the Christmas Tree!!!

Oh my goodness, do you know how long it just took me to type Christmas Tree in red and green? It took me about a minute! I kept going back and forth between red then green. (please don't tell me if there was an easier way to do that) Anyways, Merry Christmas! It is only 15 days away... For me Christmas came EXTREMELY fast. I was probably to busy running, playing, doing crafts, cheer leading, decorating, LOTS and LOTS of birthdays, and blogging to notice that Christmas is almost here! On Christmas morning Cooper, Ava and Charlie wake me up around 6:00 am. (Notice the AM sign) They make me get out of bed and come look at the gifts and stockings. We usually have to sit and watch a movie until Mommy and Daddy wake up. That is always the hard part for me. Waiting, staring at the gifts, then not being able to open them for another 3 hours! I know every body likes gifts, (I do) but sometimes we need to sit back, watch the Christmas tree, and realize that we are celebrating Christmas because Jesus was born! All of the gifts, lights, the tree, those are all "extras" that we get to enjoy. So this Christmas I am going to try to not get to carried away and remember the real reason to celebrate Christmas.
