Days of Christmas

The countdown to Christmas has been filled with all sorts of activity and fun. It has been thrilling (and we admit, exhausting) to experience the season fully with two little ones. Thankfully, we have some great friends who have made it possible for us to sneak out for a couple of date nights. Adult conversation and meals that do not involve sippy cups can work wonders at recharging your holiday cheer.

The kids had their preschool performance; all the kids wore their pajamas Polar Express style. Ben loved playing the hand bells and singing with his friends. Clara, upon seeing Leah, ran to her crying and curled up in her lap - we call it the “Mommy Chair” around here. That is, until Clara spied Mark across the room and went running for his lap...those chubby cheeks have daddy's girl written on her dimples. 

Hope you are all having some great days of Christmas too…maybe even fitting in a “long winter’s nap.” We can dream.
