I am always a little sad when this time of year comes to an end. I love Christmas because of the sweet spirit that comes out around this time that is unless you are at the stores and then it is just pure madness. This year we started a new tradition in our home for Christmas day. We have decided to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus so that we can make sure we bring the true meaning of Christmas back into focus for our children. Aiden can tell us what the true meaning of Christmas is which is so great to me, but the younger ones are not to the point to really understand that. Aiden this year told us that Santa is not real and he figured it out from movies. We countered that with the statement that Santa is the magic of Christmas. It is a little sad that he came to us with that this year, but he still enjoyed seeing Santa and putting out treats. Maybe he will change his mind (fingers crossed). We are so grateful to all of our family for the wonderful gifts they gave to our kids. It was such a great Christmas for us. I unfortunately slacked and did not get pictures that morning, but we recorded it like always so we will always be able to look back at the fun Christmas mornings we have had :o)
