Christmas Traditions

Jolly Holiday Lights! 

We hopped in the car and headed to see the lights Saturday night with Reagan. We've taken her every year but this year was by far the best.  Every light, she asked, 'what's that one mommy?' and 'what's that one daddy?' She loved the lights and the tunnels were her favorite! 

A definite Christmas tradition and the best part, all proceeds go to the Make A Wish Foundation. Love!








Decorating the Christmas tree~  Peanut's response, 'Ooooohhh, pretty!'  She helped by adding a couple ornaments and then got bored.  Much more fun to pile blankets and pillows on the sofa and jump from cushion to cushion.




Christmas candy!  I discovered this last year and loved it.  I cried when my can ran out mid March and it was nowhere to be found. I was smarter this year and stocked up. Who doesn't love Christmas candy in July??


I love this time of year, especially with a toddler.  I'm so thankful for our everyday blessings and am reminded that this is the time to give back. 

Peanut helped pick out a present for the Boys Home that we support through work and we'll also donate a toy for Toys for Tots.  She loves the red kettles too so the next time we hear the bell, I'm going to give her money to put in the kettle.  It's never too young to teach charitable giving.

She may know that Santa brings presents but she'll also know the true meaning of Christmas. xoxo
