It's the most wonderful time - Part I

I love Christmas. I really enjoyed teaching Amelia about Christ's birth and playing with the nativity set with her. She is convinced that her daddy is one of the wise men. I look forward to continuing fun Christmas traditions with her and Ben.

One tradition we started this year was Christmas-palooza. I got this idea from a dear friend as well as some Pinterest surfing. At the beginning of December when we decorated for Christmas, we also gave Amelia her Christmas pj's, a new Elmo Christmas movie and got out any of her Christmas books. It was a fun day of jammies, a big breakfast, and fun. 

It was also a super warm day so Ben took advantage of that and hung up our lights outside while Amelia and I cheered him on and played with sidewalk chalk. 

We ended the day with hot cocoa and the Muppets. 

It was such a nice, relaxing start to our Christmas celebration and we look forward to many more together as a family.

More to come on how we celebrated Christmas in my next post. :)
