We are watching my favorite Christmas cartoons this morning - How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Then we'll get ready to go to our cousins' for the afternoon and D-D and Dup's tonight. AND before bed we will be SURE to read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to Baby B...even if he's already sleeping by the time we get home! Tomorrow we have a big day with family at Grammy & Grampy's. There is even snow on the ground!
Some of my FAVORITE Christmas "things" and traditions that I now get to share with Bentley...or start up again for his sake...and some of the things I am so excited about for the next few days (in random order)...
- This should go without saying...spending time with family & friends...and now Baby B gets to enjoy the holiday time with everyone!
- Auntie Alisa is home from Mexico and Baby B finally gets to meet her!
- The MOVIES! My favorites: White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, Home Alone
- The cartoon movies, too...How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (I pretty much know the Grinch & 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by heart!)
- We get to start reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to Bentley!
- DEAN MARTIN "Baby It's Cold Outside!" (And other Christmas songs but this is our FAV)
- The smell of the Christmas tree..and the food!
- Christmas lights & decorations - when I was younger, we used to drive around and count how many houses we saw with lights...I can't wait for Baby B to be able to enjoy all of the lights and decorations!
WELCOME CHRISTMAS, BRING YOUR CHEER, CHEER TO ALL WHO'S FAR & NEAR...CHRISTMAS DAY IS IN OUR GRASP, SO LONG AS WE HAVE HANDS TO CLASP...CHRISTMAS DAY WILL ALWAYS BE, JUST AS LONG AS WE HAVE WE...
WELCOME CHRISTMAS WHILE WE STAND, HEART TO HEART AND HAND IN HAND!
~Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
