Ready

the next few days will be filled with baking,

Christmas movies, packing, and some

old and new traditions.

we are all set for Christmas.

we are all excited to see family!

These days, Luca only wants

to color in his Christmas coloring

books, and I so vividly remember

that child-like anticipation.

You know the one.

The kind parents get woken up at

6 am on Christmas morning

because of.

Oh, to be like that again....

I wish there were a way

to bottle those little emotions up

so that they never grow out of it...

never get too old to feel like that.

* side note- we saw "Santa" today while running errands...I guess he was taking a bathroom break...

Luca asks me," Momma, why is Santa in the bathroom?" I kinda laughed a little and said," well, Santa has to go potty just like you do." He looked so confused and said," Momma, he doesn't potty...he's Santa....there is no potty on the sleigh." ...andddddd that's when I got schooled by my 3 year old.

wow.

Ever have any funny Santa dialogue with your little ones?
