Holiday Magic


The Christmas Holidays have so much more joy and happiness when you have little people around to share it with you. Starting with the weekend after Thanksgiving, Laurel has been repeatedly astonished by the Christmas decorations. She loves the Nativity set, especially the camel, and we talk about it often. Words like Santa, Star, and egg nog (ok the last one is a stretch) are frequently uttered from her lips.

And when she can't say the word, she just says "Wow". You can say that again.

Even Rowan is enjoying the season. Three weeks ago we visited the Festival of Trees, and this week will will visit Santa at the mall. Her Holiday Program at school is the best I've ever seen, and I often cry during every act. These kids are amazing. And special. And they really work hard to put together a great show. I'll try to get photos, but they are usually out of focus - from my tears.

If I don't have a chance to blog again about our family between now and the New Year, all our best for a Happy, Healthy Holiday Season and New Year.

And try not to make yourself crazy about the shopping, and the parties, and the decorating. Remember the meaning of this Holiday and its Magic. Wow.
