(We feel a week behind since we were in Disney.)
(I have mentioned I can't wait to go back?)
Any hoo...we packed this weekend full to play "catch up" on the traditions we love.
(I would like a new Christmas tradition. Can you guess what it is?)
Saturday we went to a place not to far that literally has millions of lights. It is always so beautiful!
Sunday we celebrated Christmas with our best friends...Chris and Carrie. This has been a tradition for a couple years. It is always so much fun. It is hard to believe that we have been friends since our oldest were only 6 months old. Look at them now!!!
I just love this picture! (And these kids!)
Friday, not sure why the picture uploaded all the way down here, we went to see Santa. We go to this place where you drive through lights. It is great. It is so pretty and you are in the warmth of your own car. While we were there driving through looking at the lights I had Christmas music on and Carys said, "Roll down your window." I said, "Why?" Carys, "So the lights will dance to the music." Haha! So cute!
After the lights there is a place to go in and play and to see Santa, get treats, and see some model trains. It is so fun. This has been the place the kids always see Santa and we all love it!
I am so excited that the kids only have 3 more days of school and then 2 weeks vacation. I am planning some fun things to do...baking cookies, having friends over, going to the movies and staying in our jammies, and just being 8 and 5. Sometimes I feel like school and "activities" are taking over our lives. Let me remind you, Broderick does wrestling and cub scouts and Carys does dance. Not like we are over committed or anything, but sometimes I feel like it.
I am ready for a new year though. I feel like it is permission to re-start. And I need that. I have fallen off the wagon in a few areas, and I can feel that it is effecting other areas of my life. Funny how that all goes together.
Well, I hope you all enjoy the 12 Days of Christmas!!!
