It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!  I love Christmas. I love Christmas. And I love having little ones during Christmas time.  The magic in the air.  Teaching Barrett about baby Jesus and listening to his questions and watching him absorb it all. The activities around town that create these precious family moments. This won't be my only Christmas post.   There is too much to do! And share ;)

Barrett and I started our Christmas celebrations at a Frozen party for a little girl in his class.

Then Nana and Papa took us to ICE. The theme was Frosty the Snowman, and Barrett LOVED it.

It went really well ;)

We braved the cold later that day to go to a Christmas Tree Lighting.
