Christmas, Christmas Time is Here

This Christmas is going to be sooooo much fun!  The best way to see Christmas is through the eyes of a child.  Parker woke up the day after we had put up the Christmas decorations and said "I like trees, I like Christmas, I do, I do!"  (thank you to Dr. Seuss)

Parker's favorite song right now is from Alvin and the Chipmunks... He has changed the lyrics slightly... "Christmas, Christmas time is here.  Time for toys and not for tears."

While driving to Nana and Papa's this weekend to watch the demolition of my Red Raiders (boo OU)  Parker asked to use my phone.  I said, "Who do you want to call?"  He replied "Santa"!

So we called Santa (aka Uncle Jim) in this story.  I was laughing so hard that I cried as I heard the "Ho, Ho, Ho's" from my backseat and the belly laughs from my son.  He got off the phone and told me, "Santa's gonna bring me presents."  

I love the pure joy and excitement that the holidays hold for children.  Santa even made our nightly prayers, along with Kung Fu Panda and pizza :)  

Have I mentioned how much Jared and I love our kids.  Avery is 3 months old this week.  Hard to believe that she's been here for 3 whole months.
