“Dear Santa, You’re special because you bring us toys. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Love, Kayden”

 

It’s almost time!! Santa is finishing up his final preparations for the BIG day!! So is Mommy!! 😉 I am finally completely done and ready for the big finale! I spent the day today finishing up the final touches to ensure that my children’s hearts will be full come Christmas morning. Christmas is about so much more than presents, but I think at this age, it’s a big part of the excitement that leads up to the big day. We have tried to make sure that we also stress the importance of giving as being as important as receiving. It’s a message that’s kind of abstract right now, but we figured we start teaching the lesson by having each girl shop for each other. We went around the mall as a family and the girls pointed out things that they wanted. From there each child went off with one parent and chose the perfect gift for her sister. They were both so excited to pick out the perfect gift and, honestly, they did put good thought into it and genuinely got something they think the other would really love. I think they both nailed it!

Today, Kayden worked on her note to Santa and she is getting excited to bake him cookies and leave the note for him tomorrow night. It’s fun to see both of their eyes light up when they talk about Santa coming to visit. So many fun memories are being made and will continue to be made this holiday season! We are very blessed to have all that we have…. most importantly, each other!!
