Tis' the season!

I Love The Holidays!!! This is my favorite time of year. I have soo many good memories from past winters. Even memories of being little and spending time with all of my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. It has always been my favorite time of year. I met my husband (Derek) in December of 2004 and we got engaged on Christmas Eve of 2006. Then around Christmas of 2007 is when we found out we were pregnant with peyton and we found out we were pregnant with Jax in December of 2009. When I think of Christmas i think of warmth, which is funny because it's one of the coldest months of the year. It must be the fires, the hot chocolate, the cinamon, the tree, and just the kindness and love that should really be around all year long. This is our first Christmas in our home and our first Christmas with Jax! One thing that excites me as a parent is being able to start our own family traditions. I feel soo old when I think about this. I want my children to have such a memorable childhood. It's soo precious to be able to relive all the excitement of Santa and Frosty and all that good stuff through my children and to add in a little bit of my own. The other night I told Petyon that the reason people put lights up at Christmas is to help Santa see better when he's flying Christmas Eve. I have never heard this before and don't know where it came from. Who knows it might be the real symbolism of it, but it made complete sense to me so I just went with it. Anyways, the whole reason of this post is to show what we've been up to for Christmas so far...
