I'm Trying...

Where are you Christmas??? I'm just not finding you! I don't see you on people's faces, I don't see you around town...well of course I see your evidence out and about...I just don't FEEL you this year. Where are you and why don't I feel you? I want to...I'm trying. Last year I had every reason NOT to find you...we had just moved, boxes everywhere, chaos everywhere, Mallory was toddling about wreaking havoc, Delaney was struggling a bit in school,...but you were there, and I felt you. So what gives? Am I just getting older? That can't be it because I'm quite immature for my age {and proud of it, thank you very much}. Is it the weather? Today was the first cold day (in the 50's), it has been in the 70's for the past couple of weeks. Am I just getting tired of all the cr** that the Season has turned into? It makes me sort of sad...I'm not sure what it is, but I've got to get this straightened out...I'm not giving up yet... : }

Some photos from Santa's visit this year~we decided to wear our Christmas jammies! {this SHOULD help right?}

Delaney put in her request {a swing set and more "crafty" stuff}.


Mallory of course took more convincing....





Ok, so maybe this guy isn't SO bad. Maybe a little hug...


What is going on...what? I'm not too sure about this...Holy cow...he's picking me.. .




UP...............................I AM smiling Dad...:]

{Do you like all of those donks on her head? She's graceful like her Mom!:}

Hope you all are doing well and *feeling* the season.

The Christmas Jammies is a great idea. I'm glad Mallory gave in and went to Santa. Aiden wouldn't have anything to do with him last year and this year he acts like he is his best friend!!
I hear ya on Christmas. The past few years have been very hard for me to get into the spirit. I've actually done better this year for some reason. Some of it is staying on top of things so I'm not stressing about shopping, cards etc. This is a first for me. I also realize it's the only year where all 3 boys really "get" Santa. Last year Aiden was too little and I think Drew will figure it out by next year. He's already questioned so much. So I'm trying hard to enjoy that aspect of it. Hang in there girl. I'll do my best to send some Christmas cheer your way. Maybe turning the big 33 tomorrow will do it??? :)

I just love your blog. I'm not feeling too Christmasy either. You look like you had so much fun, though, with that magic 8 ball!! Hope you have a great weekend and hope that Christmas will meet you where you're at.
