Familiar Scene

The house is decked and we have even thrown in a new tradition - an annual Favorite Things Party. Best.Party.Ever. Such a fun way to spend an evening with some fabulous friends and celebrate the season. Not as many pictures to post but will soon. In the meantime just like all moms out there we are balancing the many school/end of semester activities, programs and fun Christmas celebrations but my favorite scene lately has got to be this:




He loves to find "his" ornaments - anything having to do with transportation and move them all around. Right now the whole bottom right side of the tree is drooping with a handful of his chosen ones and I have to say he has a knack - looks good Carter.

Another favorite was catching a new fun Christmas movie with the girls and all finding a place under a red blanket and watching the movie while it poured down rain outside. I didn't try to multitask with lists or magazines, I simply enjoyed a movie with my two favorite girls while Carter napped. Those are the moments I could do over and over again for sure in this busy and blessed season. Since November there have been so many special memories and weekends to document - from a quick trip to AZ to run a race, sharing Thanksgiving, all the way to a special little girl turning 10 - TEN - double digits and a fun birthday trip to NYC. Last week of school for the kids and all the fun that comes with that. I miss my cohort from LAST YEAR and my fabulous seat saver but we are managing and celebrating and are counting down the days until we celebrate the most special birthday of the year - Christ Jesus.
