We decided to have a REAL Christmas tree this year! The boys were super excited to get to pick out a tree and put all the decorations and lights on it. My friend Erin came over to help us which ended up being so much fun!
We also took the boys to see Santa! I think I was more excited than they were but that's okay :) They were definitely having nothing to do with sitting on Santa's lap, but we did convince them to stand next to him.
On Friday the boys had their Christmas party at their school. Mrs. Hall had asked me to do a craft with the kids during the party, so I decided to make foam picture frames. The kids seemed like they had lots of fun! I love getting the opportunity to spend time with Allen and Thomas in their classroom. It makes me feel included in their lives and I love it :)
Being the naturally emotional woman that I am, Christmas always seems to make me extra sappy. With all the plans that we make and all the extra tasks that always seem to pop up, it becomes very easy to lose focus on what Christmas is really about. I always try to remember how lucky I am to have my family and friends, and everything else that I have been blessed with in my life. I am so grateful for all of you and I count my blessings everyday, but twice on Christmas :)
