It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I love Christmas!

As soon as Thanksgiving has been celebrated, it is time to start decorating the house, making candy and all of the other preparations that make this season the most wonderful.

We took Amelia to see Santa again this year, she was so excited and got to wear her new dress, unfortunately daddy was quite covered in sparkly blue glitter within minutes, but hey that's the price of having a little girl - right? You may wonder why Amelia's hand is in the pose that it is on her photo with Santa, well, as soon as she went up to see him, she immediately held his beard, and was very curious about it, it was the funniest thing.

Of course, I have taken quite a few photo's over the past few weeks as we have decorated the tree and such, here are just a few for you to enjoy...starting with our Cinderella Cowgirl!



On another day, it was time to put all of the decorations on the tree. I love seeing all of the ornaments again, especially those that have been bought as reminders of special times and of course, special people!











We had fun at our Ward's Christmas Party. After a wonderful meal, we broke into groups, and went into the different classrooms, where the children were read a Christmas story or two. After the stories, we all gathered together again in the gym and sang fun Christmas songs together. Don't all the children look super cute in their PJ's?



All of the singing brought a very special guest...Santa of course! Once again, Amelia was amused by his beard.


It was so nice to spend time amongst good friends (and speaking of friends - don't these two just look totally adorable together)?

Merry Christmas everybody, we love you!

Christmas is definitely a magical time of the year - especially with little ones who heighten your senses to all of the wonders of the season. Your tree looks so sparkly and beautiful. Looks like Amelia had lots of fun decorating this year (even got to stand on a chair to reach those higher branches). Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you all! We miss you!
