Cant Wait!

I cant wait for Christmas Eve and Christmas this year! E is at such a fun age that everything is exciting and she totally gets the whole Santa thing! She keeps telling me that Santa is coming to bring her horsies and books tomorrow, and today I can say "Thats right!" She is currently sitting in her bed...should be sleeping... reading her Christmas book about Santa and Snowmen. She actually found her stocking stuffers a couple of weeks ago! I thought I was being so tricky and hiding them in a good place, but she is on to my game! And to make things worse...I can't find the stocking stuffers now! I hid them from her, and in turn hid them from myself. I don't know if it is my crazy prego brain or what but I cannot find them anywhere! If I cant find them by tonight, I am off to Walmart to make sure she has something to go in her stocking.

Another fun aspect about Christmas this year is that I get to explain to E what it is really about, our Savior Jesus Christ. We have been on hunts in my moms house and ours for all the Nativities so she could find the baby Jesus. She now recognizes them when we are out and about shopping or in someones front yard. I love to see her begin to understand, and I love to be the one to share with her the awesome truth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas

Loves

P.S. Quesiton for all you Moms out there with older than E kids....when do they stop taking naps? E has just been sitting in her bed talking for about and hour now without sleeping. She didnt take a nap yesterday and fell asleep at 7:30. What is the deal?
