Life
is just plain hard, I was reading a friends blog about how Christmas isn't her favorite and I can relate, growing up Christmas was great! Wonderful! Fun and most of all enjoyable! Growing up stinks:D Now I have to worry about presents and decorations and making sure I check the lists! But I have to admit, I have a new view of Christmas as I watch Leland stare at the lights while his diaper is getting changed, or as he undecorates the tree. Its fun to watch the childhood wonder he has for it all. And even funner to watch it when he gets together with Eli and the clan! Eli and Leland are going to be great friends when they get a little older, just like Michael and Caleb are:D Its fun to watch as Brian sits by the wrapped presents and tries to guess what is in what, and sneak peaks when he thinks I am not looking (I am way ahead of him, and they all get wrapped in different boxes, so even if he does sneak a peak he will be getting things like goldfish and so forth:)) He is worse than Leland. So while growing up is hard, it can be fun to, you just have to look for it:D Something I am getting a little better at each week, it comes slowly to me! But my friends I have a delivery coming this Wednesday that is going to make life a lot more likable! You will have to come back to see what it is:D! And now Leland is awake and i don't know why, better go check on him!

What a great post! I agree, I love Christmas through the eyes of a child!
Jen stole my comment. Seriously Christmas is so much more fun because of the children. It will be more and more fun every year with Leland!
I found your blog from Stacey's-I'm so glad I found it! Your little one is a cutie! Are you coming to S'vale for Christmas? It would be so fun to see you!
Being a mommy at Christmas is the best... there is just something magical about that twinkle that has dulled as we get older. We hope you have a magical one this year.
Ummm...you should switch it up and wrap something in its real box if Brian is still trying to sneak. Only switch it up and wrap a box of diapers or toilet bowl cleaner. That'll be a real surprise! :D
