It's Beginning to Feel Like Chirstmas

Although last year it was great to spend Christmas on white sands instead of white snow, there is nothing that better then a white Christmas of snow, with the fire place lit and the smell of a pine tree all decorated.

A family tradition for my family is to spend one evening before Christmas decorating our tree with very personal ordaments. Mostly ones that my sister Kaitlyn and I made while we were young, or gifts recieved in our stockings each year, it's nice to pull them out and remember the days of leaving cookies by the fire place for Santa! This year I am so excited to start these traditions with Brayden and Sydney. We took the kids to the mall and they got to sit on Santa's lap and tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Brayden wants a monster truck and insists that Sydney wants a small small monster truck, haha.
Tonight Brayden and his Auntie Kait decorated a Christmas Tree cake with icing and decorations followed by all of us decorating my parents tree with all those personal memories. It's the best way to invite that Christmas spirit into the home!
