The Christmas season approached in its usual "where the heck did the time go?" fashion.. and here we are Christmas Eve already!!! I have been busy with my little elves trying to save the world... okay no not really- but we have been busy baking and making many gifts this year for each other, family and for those who are in need.
Sophie is starting ( I think ) to understand our definition of Christmas and has been talking about Santa Claus flying in to deliver presents. Due to the overwhelming feeling of the" hurry up and open the next gift" Christmas morning, we let her open a present a night the week before Christmas. I think we once discussed starting the 12 days of Christmas but it slipped our minds. It was not until I started to wrap gifts did I realize they had way too many (as usual) and would not be able to play and appreciate them all... so we let Sophie open a gift each night after dinner. I think now she is so obsessed to open a gift each day she will not know what to do after Christmas :)
The house is quiet- everyone is napping and I will begin to prepare the house for guests tomorrow morning. Chad and I have to help Santa out today with some visits, and Chad will have to work with Santa this evening as well... but he will be home in time when the kids wake up :) Cant WAIT to see Sophie's reaction... Better go charge the camera batteries!
Merry Christmas to all!
