We had a bit of a segmented Christmas this year but as most moms will tell you...and time together is a great time. We are so lucky to have everyone so close. Thinking back to the year that Tim was in Africa when finding merriment was so hard, I am thankful for every moment we have in the same place.
No Christmas would be complete without matching pajamas. My kids used to dread this tradition, but now it is a much anticipated event. It is my November mission. I admit to returning multiple styles to multiple stores before I make a final decision. We have had some bad years! Footy monkey pajamas come to mind as a total fail.
I love watching the excitement of the girls taring paper off all the packages, including our packages! I think of the hours spent wrapping and the minutes spent destroying that laborious task....maybe next years just boxes with a bow.
My favorite present? A Hello kitty sewing machine! Not for me...well, maybe not for me! I am determined to make little sewers out of my granddaughters. Sewing is such therapy. I hope they can find the same joy in stitching fabric together that I do.
Tim's favorite present...a chain saw!
My favorite present? My family.
