Bring on the Christmas Spirit!

We love Christmas! Waking up to the smell of a fresh Christmas Tree, having an excuse to drink hot chocolate every day/night, and being able to watch the Polar Express, Elf, and the Family Stone over and over:) We've had a great time kicking off the holiday season. We've gone down to San Clemente to enjoy Santa reading us "Twas the night before Christmas" and a Tree lighting, seeing REAL reindeer!, and going to the train station to enjoy a Christmas peformance on top of an amtrack train covered in christmas lights, starring Santa and Mrs. Claus. The boys got to sit on Santa's lap twice; once at our Ward Christmas party and once at the Mall. We've also enjoyed making a ton of Christmas crafts this year (even dad and ethan helped this year:) to add to our collection. We've definately been doing the Christmas "countdown" with the boys. James asks me every night "Mom, is Santa gonna be on our roof tonight?" it's priceless! Their favorite songs to sing are "Santa Claus is coming to town" and "Frosty the Snowman" (of course their rendition is a little different from the original) It's been a blast to enjoy this holiday season through the eyes of a 2 and 31/2 year old! Now it's just time for Santa to come!!!!
