Loving Christmas

I am in love with experiencing Christmas through my children's eyes. What a privilege, as a parent, to share this time with young children. I really don't think it gets much better than this. . .(excuse the blur, the low light is hard for the camera, but I couldn't resist sharing such a beautiful photo of Owen) . . .



or this really . . . (they are going to be soooo angry with me when they are older!)



We have thoroughly enjoyed getting ready for Christmas. The shopping is done and we are counting down the days until Santa arrives with his boatload of toys for the boys. Fortunately, Santa actually came to our house and Drew, Owen and Evan got to tell Santa specifically what to bring!













Owen wasn't such a huge fan of Santa . . .

Last weekend, we took the boys to the Shrine to see the 'Way of Lights.' It was beautiful and we enjoyed some nice family time in the car looking at the hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeous lights.







And I will leave you with some other photos that make me smile! Enjoy!







These photos are from Drew's first boy-girl party (it was a gymnastics party for his 'friend' Katie's 4th birthday). Katie is in Drew's pre-school class and he says that he wants to marry her. Awesome. It looks like he is already putting the moves on her!
