Christmas Eve

I love the holidays-- Christmas time being one of my favorites!! I love spending it with all the ones I love so dearly-- taking time to just be, reflect on what it means to us, and to create memories together all along the way.

Gone are the days of us being young and laying out our Christmas cookies and milk for Santa-- gone are the days when we are in bed early eager for him to arrive and waking up early to see the goodies he left for us. Gone are the traditions that no longer fit the family we are becoming.

Here are the days of creating new traditions that fit us in the present and work for us now. Here are the days of nice Christmas Eve dinners, gingerbread houses, and of  the Christmas Eve sibling gift exchange. Here are the days of new memories in the making-- memories to be cherished for many years to come--I love my family and all that we've become!!
