It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

We put our Christmas decorations up earlier every year.  I love Christmas time!!  I love the smells, the warm cozy feeling you get when you sit by a fire, the excitement that's in the air, Christmas music and most of  all remembering the very special gift we were each given.  It's hard to remember that sometimes with all the hustle and bustle the Christmas brings.  Each year I try really hard to not get sucked into the commercialism  and try to really focus on the true meaning of Christmas.  I hope my kids can always remember that!

We always make cookies and decorate them.  It's a tradition that I can remember as a child.  I remember the smell of cookies baking and I got right back to my childhood and become a kid myself.  Honestly what is there not love love about cookies!  This year Averie joined us for baking.  It was so fun and I glad she got to enjoy time with her cousins!




After we got done baking cookies it was time to visit Santa!!  Emma said the REAL Santa always comes to our neighborhood!  I think she was right!  He truly looks like the real Santa.  I believe!!



It was a fun day!!  I love making memories with my kids.  I hope that when they are grown they will remember these traditions that we do do every year!!
