This Christmas has to go down in my book as one of the best ever. Our house seemed almost enchanted...yeah.... I said enchanted. The kids were delightful, funny, gracious with of course a few small helpings of cheekiness thrown too!
As Christmas day grew closer Evan kept adding new items to his Santa list. I tried my best to explain to him that Santa's workshop was closed and the elves were now in lock and load sled mode. I almost started to panick when he told me early on the 24th what he really wanted the most was an electric guitar so he could have a band with his best friend Ari.
I told him not to worry, if Santa couldn't get to it I would buy him one for his birthday (ha! July 31st). I didn't need to worry one tiny bit...because everything he opened on Christmas day was "just what he always wanted!" Hearing his exclaimations was one of the best gifts I will ever receive. His almost 11 year old sister was just as happy with her gifts as well, just not as verbal as he was.
I wish there could be 20 more Christmas like this years but I know it won't happen. So I will put it down on paper and watch the videos over and over. I need to remind myself to enjoy these years, days, moments...in the end they are always too short.
Merry Christmas
