It’s finally starting to feel like Christmas around here.
The tree is up. We are decorated inside and out. It’s cold and rainy.
The shopping is *almost* done. The wrapping has *almost* begun. We are reading Christmas books and watching Santa cartoons. We are drinking hot cocoa.
The kids are happy. I am happy.

We are still creating our Christmas time traditions around here, and I’m ok with that. We have a few traditions currently that we are loving
Breaking Ornaments – As we decorate the tree, and ornament is bound to get broken. What can we say, those suckers are slippery!
Making Messes – As I clean and decorate one room, the kids destroy another. It’s a really fun cycle that commonly keeps us occupied for days upon days.
General Destruction and Chaos – I blame the extra candy matched with less outside play time. Energetic little ones is a recipe for fun, and also danger.
In all seriousness, though, we do truly enjoy this season. We cuddle, we talk excitedly about Santa, we walk Winterhaven neighborhood looking at lights.
What are your holiday traditions?
I LOVE that you said you’re happy
Winterhaven is becoming a tradition for us. As is the elf – that’s a new tradition. Do you have one?
