I LOVE Christmas!

Everything about it! I love being around my family. I love getting together with friends. I love trying to find perfect present for everyone. I love seeing Christmas lights and decorations on everyone's houses. I love baking Christmas cookies. I love Christmas music. I love all of the holiday drinks and hot chocolates in our cute holiday mugs. I love bringing goodies to our neighbors and doing things for others. I love that everyone has time off of work/school. I love that everyone seems to forget about stress and come together....well, except if you're out shopping. :) I love all the Christmas movies on TV. The list goes on and on and on.

It's even better now that Jacob is almost 3 and knows a lot more of what's going on. He is SO into Christmas this year. He is obsessed with Christmas lights and decorations. He can't wait for it to get dark every day so that he can go turn on our lights. He always wants our tree to be plugged in. He is constantly talking about Santa. And occasionally when someone knocks on our door he gets so excited and asks if Santa is here. :) He is always telling us what Santa is going to bring him, ha. And, if he ever acts up...he PUTS HIMSELF into timeout and says he should be a good boy so Santa can come see him!!!!! Too funny!! I am so looking forward to watching him open his gifts this year.

Tomorrow night we're having a special Christmas devotional and dinner at our house and I can't wait to have everyone over. You're invited, too! :) And all of our family (and some extended family) is coming to our house on Christmas Eve. I can't wait!!

I love my sweet family so much and I love this time of year. :)
