I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

Can I just say I LOVE this time of year! I remember the year Cade was born and I was so excited to hang a third stocking on the mantle. Now I hang four and can I just say I am so grateful for those little names that hang beside mom and dad. Having kids has made Christmas even that more meaningful to me. I love that we get to play Santa and see their eyes light up when they see what Santa brought. This year is going to be the best year ever!! This is going to be one of our poorest Christmas' because of all the money we spent on fertility and Jon's job change. BUT can I just say it is going to be a special one. Don't worry the kids are still going to be spoiled but it has been nice to forget about what I want and focus on what really matters. There is a special spirit in our home this year as we are trying to focus more on the true meaning of Christmas. I am starting the 12 days of Christmas tomorrow for our boys and I am so excited about it. As my kids get older I feel this desire to share with them what Christmas is really all about. I want them to gain a testimony of Christ, his birth and the wonderful gift he is to us. It is fun to make traditions and this is one I am super excited about. I think it will bring more meaning to Christmas and help us to have more family time. Christmas as a child was always so wonderful and I want my children to have those same warm feelings as they remember their Christmas'.
