Christmas with a child is the best! It is SO much more fun! Sweet little Christmas outfits, Santa Claus, new traditions, old traditions. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
We started out the Christmas season by getting our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. We've gotten it from Henry's trees every year since we've married and Henry now recognizes us. I love it.
We took Ava Kate to sit on Santa's knee and it cost $27. Holy shizzle. Santa's robbin' the children. He was a jolly ol' fellow though, so I guess it was worth it.
We went on our annual Christmas light tour, although Ava Kate got bored and fell asleep this year. Haha!
My FAVORITE tradition is going to our church's Christmas Eve service. Both of our families go and we sing Christmas songs, read the Christmas story, have a children's time with approximately 500,000 children (slightly exaggerated), and end by singing Silent Night in candle light. We eat shrimp & oysters at the Morgan's afterwards and visit with long-time family friends.
This year, Parker and I started a few new traditions on Christmas Eve... like preparing for Santa's arrival ;)
We had a Christmas Eve toast with hot chocolate while we prepared for Santa, and let me just tell you, Santa's cookies were delicious! :) Santa left a letter for Ava Kate, something I hope he does every year!
With the stockings hung and the lights all aglow, we went to bed with excitement for Christmas day!
