christmas!



christmas was all kinds of absolutely wonderful.

my kids make 99 cent coloring books from the dollar store seem completely magical.

watching their eyes light up on christmas morning
is on my top ten favorite things ever in this whole wide world. :)

i tried to make this season simple & happy,
and i'm delighted to report, it was one of my most relaxing & stree-free christmases ever.



we didn't have any cookies, so we left santa peanut butter cups instead,
with a thoughtful chloe-note, explaing the situation.
{santa didn't seem to mind.}



he left a special note for the girls too!



it was a perfect day,
and i feel so blessed to have a knowledge my Savior,
& to have my little family to celebrate Him with.



thank you to all our friends and family for making this season special. ♥
