I remember thinking when i was dating and engaged that christmas had really become way more romantic and enchanting. Everything felt even more magical. more whimsical.
And then when Claire bear was only 3 weeks old for her christmas, i remember being so content. I had my mom and dad with me, and a fresh new born to snuggle and love on.
But now, everything takes on the wonder. the magic. the anticipation. decorating, movies, christmas cookies, snuggling close and drinking hot chocolate and watching the grinch, it all feels so fun.
Layla is loving every small detail.
we are having tons of conversations and connect times over our efforts.
I still have the cutie little 2 year old feel that runs around and says " wow dat's amaysing!!!"
But then i have a little curious, delighted helper at my side. talking through everything.
and lots and lots of these moments...
caught on camera licking from her icing bag. i tried to contain her cookies to the one christmas tray. we won't be offering those to our visitors!
note the rudolph tank top. and the fleece i am wearing. My girls never get cold. and the outfit is more important than the temperature.
rummaging through our eclectic christmas collection..
wow. can you believe the beauty?
the only normal looking ones.nothing like the pics i saw....
i think you have be more detailed oriented. : /
My favorite conversation is when Layla told me what the gingerbread men were thinking and saying. How they wanted to get down off the table and play in houses...
our cozy christmas home...
and lastly, our christmas date. So fun to get away and watch Catching Fire...it was so awesome. Katniss and Peeta...revolutions and bravery... deception and sacrifice...such a creative story.
