Christmas

    Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year and I look forward to it so much.  We have so many fun traditions and it is truly a magical time of year.  I am so blessed to have my immediate family so close by and that we get to spend it all together.
    We spent all of Christmas at my parent's house enjoying spending quality time with family.  The kids are at such a fun age for Christmas.  All the build up and the joy on their faces on Christmas morning is absolutely priceless.  I wish it would last forever.
   As usual Santa was very good to all the kids, so I guess that means that they were really good this year.  The older three kids got Hatchimals from Santa.  They were the hot toy this year and they were so excited to see that Santa fulfilled their wishes. Gracie got a doll which she was very happy about.  They got many other gifts and were all very happy that day.
   We had another great Christmas full of lots of family time and great memories to cherish for many years.   We ate lots of yummy food and shared a lot of laughter.  It was the perfect Christmas!
