Merry Christmas!


.








Christmas was more fun this year than last year! At least this year the kids were able to say Santa, tree, reindeer, Christmas, etc. I don't think they really get who Jesus or Santa is completely, but they are getting the hang of it. We haven't had our big family party yet, so the holiday has been pretty low key. They definitely think it's fun to have new toys to play with.

I'm sure next year will be more fun. We'll have to be more on our toes and get our stories straight. No more storing presents in plain site until they are wrapped, no wrapping presents right in front of them. Cookies will have to be set out for Santa, we'll have to start hiding presents and wrapping the Santa gifts in a different paper. Next year the kids will be out of cribs and may wake us up earlier than the 7:30 we got up this year. Next year may be a whole new ballgame. I was sure to enjoy how low key it all was this year. I can look back at how it was last year at this season and in some ways life is so different, in other ways not much has changed. I look forward to doing this again next year and hopefully seeing even more progress. Maybe next year Sydney will be eating food, maybe Quinn will be talking as well as Cooper and Sydney? Who knows? All we can do is wait and see how this life unfolds.
