Wow.  Look at them.  My three little munchkins.  Each one so excited for Christmas.  Each one dreaming of what Santa has to bring.

My oldest…. shares his 5 years of Christmas experience with the younger two.  He knows how many days there are in December until Christmas (and has managed to tell us everyday how many days are left… like our own little Christmas countdown clock).  He knows how Santa operates and this year has started to ask the tough questions.  How does Santa carry all of those presents?  How do reindeer fly?  I answer each question confidently.  Because those were the same answers my parents gave me.

My daughter (little miss), loves to watch Mickey’s Christmas Carol.  The cartoon was made in 1983 and it’s still a massive win with children.  I can’t tell you how many times we have watched this particular cartoon, but I do know that we watch it at least 3 times a day.  And every time, her face lights up in anticipation.  And every time she sits as still as can be until it is over.

Brobes (the littlest guy), has been taking leaps and bounds in the language department.  The other day he said… “Mommeee… it’s beeping”.  This was in reference to his chicken nuggets that were in the oven (the timer went off).   It’s precious.  I want him to be little for just a little while longer… so that I can continue to drink in all of those adorable baby features and run my fingers through that blond head of curls that he was blessed with.

I sit back and look at my three and feel happy.  I feel happy that I can share old traditions with them and create new ones all our own.

Merry Christmas to all!  May you build precious Christmas memories with your families this year….

XOXO,
