The season can’t start without putting up the Christmas tree. Each year gets more and more fun with the kids wanting to help. Sevea put on a lot of the ornaments. Thankfully year after year of being a parent prepared me to relax a little when the ornaments were not evenly spaced on the tree. By the end of Christmas the tree was even worse as we moved almost all of the ornaments above Brynna’s reach. Very interesting that it wasn’t until the third child that this happened. I blame it on the other kids.
We celebrated Christmas with my family the weekend before Thanksgiving which surely extended the holiday season. I don’t think the kids minded one bit and it did relieve a little stress to have one event out of the way.
The kids were spoiled rotten by Grandma and Grandpa Verstraete. But we still figured they should get their lists to Santa. After all I do think they were pretty good kids this year. We decided since last year was a success visiting Santa at Emma Krumbee’s we’d go again this year. We totally loved the experience once again. Of course not everyone loved seeing Santa. Cohen was okay with Santa from far away but sitting on his lap was out of the question. Even being near him wasn’t exactly something he was into. The donuts and apple cider/milk at breakfast was more his thing. So he still enjoyed himself. Sevea asked for a camera. Santa of course had to ask her what else she wanted and she said an American girl doll. This was news to us. Ugh those expensive dolls and their more expensive than my wardrobe clothes. Spoiler alert Santa did not bring her the doll. Maybe she’ll still want the doll by her birthday and we can take out a second mortgage by then to pay for it and some accessories. Brynna on the other hand had no requests from Santa. You can make her happy with a candy cane and the freedom to walk around the store. So easy to please.
More Christmas happenings to come!
