My absolute favorite time of the year.
November 1st to me is like December 1st.. and then on December 26th I'm basically over it and take my tree down. We're just weird like that. I'm officially counting down the beach now.. just 6 months away. almost 5.. eek. but first.. let's talk Christmas.
this year was so much fun. not that the other years before weren't but the girls' are both at a perfect age for the excitement of Santa and independent when it comes to opening presents so we can just sit back, enjoy, and take it all in.. watching their faces light up after each present.
We got to party with the Grinch at our annual Hayslette family Christmas party. We went to see the lights at the park. We would casually just run into Santa literally everywhere we went.. even Mcdonalds one night. We even got our professional family pictures done.. finally.. we sat through the Christmas parade with such amazing weather that day, let's not forget the countless times I threatened to call Santa.
We've spent a ton of days eating and playing games/laughing until we're crying with family. This is why it's my most favorite time of the year. although.. no matter what we all need to remember he is the reason for the season.
when you fall asleep eating lunch... this is how you know it's been a fun/busy couple of days.
Christmas at Nana's & Granddaddy's was our last stop which we decided to do the day after Christmas so it wasn't so overwhelming on us but especially the girls.
It was definitely one for the books.. Christmas 2017 was a success.
Until next year.
