Merry Christmas

Wow. Another Christmas come and gone. This year was full of traditions, much like any other, but every year I appreciated them more and more. New jammies.....this year homemade by Mommy. Red Velvet cake and cupcakes, with cooked frosting, made from scratch. I will only do this at Christmas. My kids beg for it for birthdays, but Christmas traditions are just that. Christmas Eve at Mom and Dad's. We eat dinner, open presents from them, and unwrap and put on our new pajamas. Then it's home to bed where the window to the boy's room is cracked open a little so they can here Santa's sleigh bells (aka: Grandpa who is willing to drive to each house after the kids are in bed).

Top funny this year....we always do stockings first, and Jackson is super obsessed with hot chocolate. So Santa put a packet of hot cocoa mix in his stocking. As he was rapidly going through his stocking, he pulled it out and said, " Hmmmm, a packet of some sort of milk chocolate powder." We laughed so hard. That kid is so hilarious.
