Well here it is... my first blog post. I debated whether or not to enter into the world of blogging for awhile, hence being inspired by my sister's family blog. The suggestion from a good friend in Marblehead, Massachusetts prompted me to finally create one of my own. So Karen, here it is!During the days at home with my children, they say and do things that I never want to forget. However, in the craziness of the day, I do not always get them written down. I hope blogging will be a better reasource to get them on "paper."
Tonight, Kate and I stayed up late (well, for a 3 year old) wrapping packages together. I kept reminising about doing this together last year. Last Christmas, Kate, could pick out the paper she wanted each package to be wrapped in and then hold the ribbon in place with her finger as I tied a bow. This year, she still picked out the paper, but now she can help cut the paper and place the tape in the right place, and even fold the edges up. As I was wrapping up the larger packages, she took the paper "scraps" and started wrapping up some small "stocking" items for my mother-in-law. With the exception of needing pieces of tape, she wrapped up 3 little items for her Nana all by herself! I was quite impressed, as I am sure her Nana will be too! These are the times when I slow down and really soak in what the holidays are really about. I also got to laughing because she swore that the snowmen on the wrapping paper were talking to her, even though she could not tell me what they were saying. She also loved seeing what we are giving to other people (i.e. her cousins) and reveling in the beauty of their gifts and then of course wanting them for herself. But, she knows that Santa is coming to her house very soon.Earlier today we went and saw Legendary Santa.... Here are some of the moments of the day.
