Happy Thanksgiving! Now that turkey day is over, Emily is
extremely excited that Christmas is around the corner. I know she was
excited about it last year, but this year- the excitement seems to be on
a whole new level.... and I am loving it. Christmas is definitely a
season for children and adults alike, but seeing it through a child's
eyes makes the season brighter and happier. We are stressing to her the
reason for the season as well and she is looking forward to making
Jesus his birthday cake! I grew up doing this with my family and have
continued the tradition since. I think it is a good way for a child to
relate Jesus being the reason for Christmas because what child doesn't
love to celebrate birthdays and eat cake! I am about 90% done with my
shopping and have bunch of stuff to wrap! I LOVE to shop for a perfect
gift for someone and giving Christmas presents is probably one of my
most favorite things to do. And Harry the elf arrived last night when
we were putting up our Christmas tree. Thank goodness Stephen is in
charge of moving him place to place because I know I would quickly
forget and have a lot of explaining to do as to why Harry doesn't move
around very much! Hope everyone has fun preparing for the Christmas
season ahead of us! It has finally arrived for me and my family! (even
though it showed up in stores in October...)
