The holiday season is definitely under way and busy as usual. Shopping - check; gifts wrapped - check; cards stuffed and mailed - check, etc!! We have had 2 visits with Santa plus mailed of 2 additional letters to the North Pole (Marcus wanted to make sure he got it all!)
This was the first year that Marcus was 100% excited to see Santa - big accomplishement.
The tree is trimmed, house decorated, and we are ready to start sharing holiday time with friends and family. Holiday activities have included a tree lighting ceremony and Santa in Rowlett then Christmas in the Park in Mesquite complete with Santa, roasted marshmellows, hot cocoa, santa's workshop, Mrs. Claus and a pony ride. It was extremely cold but that feeling while hanging outside for 2 hours is the best part. We made a trip to Athens to check out the Christmas Park lights display. Checking out lights and decorations is by far my favorite part of the season. I am so glad that Marcus really enjoys this to. We still plan on going out to Richardson to visit Santa's Village and have lots of parties and visits coming over the next couple weeks. Marcus loves shopping and picking out gifts. We even picked some toys for Toys for Tots. I'd like to make sure that Marcus knows what is really important during this time of the year. We picked out a couple for both girls and boys and he had a great time picking out the presents then dropping them off. Today was his ultimate shopping trip with Granny -- he got to christmas shopping for me. This is a tradition that my mom has done with him every year and he looks forward to it and puts lots of thoughts into what he wants to give Mommy for Christmas. Now the time starts for baking holiday treats and party food!!! Still lots to look forward too and great new memories to be made! Here's to you making your holiday memories too!!!!!!!!
Happy Holidays!
