December

We had a wonderful Christmas! I was so excited for Christmas this year. Something about having a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 1 year old makes Christmas magical. The kids were very excited about it and seeing Christmas through their eyes was the best. I never remember Christmas being greater than it is now. A group of people in the neighborhood puts their name in a raffle and who ever gets choosen they get to pick up to 10 kids. Our neighborhood behind us got picked and Santa comes on a firetruck and brings the kids candy and asks what they want and leaves on the firetruck. The kids thought this was amazing. Also, we had a mini lighting ceremony with 5 of the neighbors, we all turned on the lights and the same time and had hot chocolate together.

Anthony - Anthony was so excited about Christmas this year he wanted to decorate the tree early, so we put our tree up a week before Thanksgiving. We all watched the movie Home Alone while we decorated the tree. He asked Santa for a nerf gun.

Avabelle - Avabelle was excited and asked Santa for a camera. Santa spent a lot of money on her camera and told her when she wasn't using it to put in Dad's office.

Louie - Louie asked santa for a doll because he loves to kiss babies so santa brought him a laughing baby. He was at Toys R Us and would laugh every time the doll would laugh and then he would hug her. Aunt Trish started to call him the little politician, she said he's the next Mayor of Westminster. She said she says hello to everyone and kisses the babies on their heads.

Tony and I - We had a wonderful Christmas and Tony decorated the outside so cute. Avabelle said dad did a great job! I don't know who is his bigger fan her or I. Tony always has a lot of admirers. He reminds me of an old heroic cowboy.
