We had family night this past Friday. We just treasure those types of evenings around here!
We trimmed our Christmas Tree while we listened to Christmas music, danced around with each other and ate Christmas cookies. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas Season in our home. The kids were so alive with Christmas Spirit. It was such a memorable night.
Justin and I didn't take any pictures - we decided to just be present in the moment. To thoroughly enjoy the evening with our kids and not worry about grabbing the perfect shot. (this was the one picture I snapped at the end of the night with my cell phone - and I love it).
Jack is at the age where he truly understands Christmas. He has an understanding that it is Jesus' birthday and he grasps the whole Santa thing. He and Olivia are beaming with excitement. Especially since Elf on a Shelf came to our house. This year's Christmas is going to be extra exciting. Especially as it marks baby Grant's First Christmas. Anticipation all around!
Our home is so alive with Christmas Spirit. It's a great place to be.

Emily - I found a picture I took of you at Jack's same age in front of Grandma Mary/Ernie's Christmas tree. I've always loved it however, I have to admit you did a much better job at capturing the "magic" of the moment than I did. I'll give you my copy when I see you next. Love, Peg
