making memories


AHH !.... the Christmas season is finally here and we are so excited. I want to rush out to the stores and buy 100 gifts that i know my kids wont pay any mind to but there is something magical about opening gifts on Christmas morning. so i decided instead of buying a ton of presents i will fill the season with memories and traditions. Our first tradition we came up with is to put the Christmas tree up the night of thanksgiving. Second we decided to pick out a special ornament for the tree. And since ive been baking more and more theses days we love to bake together. Haley always gets caught with her fingers in the bowl but its just the kid in her. I mean what kid doesnt like to lick the spoon. I am just so happy to have a beautiful family that i can make these beautiful memories with. Before i know it they will be grown and i want them to remember the traditions and fun we had because i know they wont remember the gifts

It's true! Thanks for the reminder because I have wanted to go crazy for Benson this year. Sadly our christmas memories for the year will be of moving boxes instead of a christmas tree but hopefully he won't remember that! :)
