Day 26 – Thankful for an extra week of the Christmas Season!

Woohoo! Thanksgiving was a week earlier this year, which means bring on the Christmas carols, holiday decorations, candy cane Joe Joes, hot chocolate, peppermint mochas and toasted marshmallow hot chocolate, matching Santa hats for our whole family, Christmas arts and crafts, Holiday movies and books, time with family and friends! Thankful that we get an extra week of this fabulous season. I LOVE THIS SEASON!!!!! Beyond love, actually. Ha! One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. My holiday season starts October 1^st and goes till at least New Year’s. Anytime in there is fair game for Christmas carols and once Starbuck’s starts with the Pumpkin Spice Latte the avalanche of holiday fun starts! 

This year is going to be even better than any year before because well life gets better every day. Besides that, this year we have Declan! Truthfully he makes everything more fun! Although on a little side note we have been sleeping miserably in our house (worse and more sleep deprived than when he was a newborn…) So we are working really hard to make sure he is well loved, cuddled, snuggled before bedtime. However, we are cutting two more top teeth…which we would like to believe is our culprit. Anyways….that is not dampening our holiday spirit! 

Today we had some hilarious moments with Declan! Tonight at Costco Jonathan set him down on the piles of clothes to look for his size. Declan proceeded to climb all the way over to the sign and laugh the whole time. So did we…the lady folding clothes the next table over, not so much. He also knew exactly what to do when Jonathan sat down with him at the piano, he just started banging away. Oh and he also was flirting up a storm with the six ladies behind us in the return line…and waving at anyone and everyone! He is hilarious and most definitely his father’s son!

Hope everyone is having a hilarious and happy week so far! Oh and leave your favorite holiday movie in the comments!!!

Love and Laughter,
