the magic of christmas.

*hit pause on my music player.


december has been a crazy month already.
& this christmas season is going by way too fast.
but, i promised myself, that even though we're busy,
we're taking advantage of all the christmas magic in town this year.
so, that's just what we've done.

[fake snow. christmas lights. old town parades. ice skating. amy grant. tree decorating. hot cocoa by the fire. christmas movies. cookie pajama parties. the greatest christmas tea at church.]

 i think malia wins the prize! that is good. bahaaa!

[oh, the wonder of it all. and it's only dec 9th.]

next week a+e are in their first living nativity at preschool!
say whaaaat?
i remember taking them to watch braden as 2 year olds, dreaming of the day they'd be sitting there as angels singing silent night.

it's here.

i'll cry like a baby.
i just know it.

christmastime with four year olds is pure magic.
