It’s the most wonderful time of the year culminating in the entire world joining together to start a new year! Really and truly I catapult myself into this month with so much joy I can’t stand myself at times. I get the energy to bake and cook and attend every festive function there possibly is. I love the scheduling ahead, the happiness around, the excuse to drink wine on a Tuesday because your decorating a wreath, the movies can we talk about the movies?, I love the snow, the fire, the tree, lights, food. You name it I love it but most importantly I’m finding this reinvented obsession because of my children. Their laughter and joy is contagious and being able to create life long traditions is as good as it gets. It’s all going by so fast and I love being able to do all the fun stuff we’ve been able to do. For starters we hit up a moana tea party where Maia became a star and landed herself a pic in the local paper that very same day we headed to the Nutcracker in BOSTON with friends and the next day hopped on a train ride to the North Pole! The following weekend we met santa as he flew in on his helicopter. We rounded out the month making cookies for santa, decorating gingerbread houses, making homemade ravioli together as a family for Christmas Day all the while wondering where Francisco the elf would land the next days! Christmas was better than expected with family exploding into each room and way too many toys and gifts that made the girls feel the magic and love. Nothing but love.
