Amazing Pregnancy and Parenting

Yesterday it dawned on me how quickly Christmas is sneaking up. Not wanting to be behind the eight ball and stressing about the last minute details, I made a note to myself (a fairly LARGE note) that read, “Christmas gifts Thursday and Friday.” So, when I picked my kids up from their Montessori program yesterday, we went straight to our journey of Christmas shopping. What fun we had! The kids make ornaments for family and friends every year. So, we bought plenty of paint, glue and everything we would need, so we can dive in and begin creating. Once our shopping was done, we decided to go on a Christmas light tour. What a beautiful Christmas evening we had! It was filled with the excitement of the holidays. We didn’t have to spend a lot of money. We thought about others and each other. And we saw beautiful, beautiful light displays. I recommend thinking of things your kids can make for gifts, go buy the supplies, find some lit up neighborhoods, and really enjoy the holidays! Those are the memories that will last a lifetime.
