This has been such a special Christmas for us and will always be so memorable. Our first Christmas season where Charlie was able to participate in and anticipate all the activities and excitement. And while we missed our families and friends far away, our Washington friends were such a happy part of this holiday season for us. there was also something special about spending those two special days preparing and celebrating together with just us and our little boy (well Sam and Bailey too!) It was also the most snowy Christmas that I have ever had!
My favorite Christmas stories...
A few days before Christmas we're all three out driving together and the little voice in the back seat says "Santa's not coming to see me." We respond "of course he is!" Charlie says, "No, Santa's not coming." We ask, "why are you saying that honey?" Charlie's reply... "I've been a little naughty." Michael and I both laughed and agreed that while he's been "a little naughty" that he's been more good boy than naughty and "we're quite certain that Santa's going to come!"
Fav No. 2: Christmas afternoon the excitement had slowed down and I asked Charlie of all the presents Santa brought him what's his favorite. He thinks for a moment and responds "the jelly beans." The jelly beans were found in his stocking along with his Melvin the giraffe doll that he has carried around nonstop all week. Funny how kids really do enjoy the simpliest things!
