Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!

We have really been enjoying the magic of the Christmas season this year! Thomas has truly become fascinated with all the festivities and has been learning The Christmas Story- he especially loves telling the story with his toy nativity every night before bed. He has really been keeping us focused. The day I decorated the house for the holidays, Thomas looked up at the nativity I had arranged on top of our entertainment stand, and whispered..."baby Jesus!" It just summed up the whole season of Advent so nicely. Of course, there is also mention of good ol' Santa every now and then too...today he said, "Mommy, Santa is very, very far away." I thought to myself, "Yep. North Pole is pretty far." Then he said, "Santa is all the way at the mall!" Benjamin is growing quickly and talking, talking, talking! He loves his big brother, and exploring the house all by himself. He is a climber, a smiler, and full of determination and joy.
