We started Christmas shopping this week. We let the kids write a letter to Santa, and we headed to the mall to drop it off at Macy's mailbox.. We ventured over to see Santa in the mall, and to our suprise there was only one person in front of us. yeah.
As we were walking back, I noticed the Angel tree... where you can pick a child off the tree, buy a gift and turn it back in. We looked over some of the names and ages of the kids. We decided to pick a girl that was young.
Case and I were at Walmart today and found a cute Snow White doll.. the first doll I have ever bought. We got some pink princess jammies too. I am excited to teach the kids about serving others this holiday season.
Maybe next Christmas we will be able to buy a doll for a baby in our house.. ( no this isnt an announcement.. we hope to add a baby to our family soon) believe me... you all will know :)
The kids are excited about Christmas. Its fun to see it through their eyes.. they are so excited about everything. I love Christmas! Tonight we are going to Camden's school to watch Polar Express in their jammies. We are heading to Vegas next week hopefully to see a wonderful friend sealed to her hubby and son. I wouldnt miss it for the world!
We are waiting for our friends baby to arrive. Birthmom is 37 weeks. I am trying to keep up on the housework, so when they call and say they are on their way, my house is somewhat together. Exciting times...

Sounds like lots of exciting things going on!! Thats awesome your teaching your kiddos service in the form of a Christmas angel.. Ive heard of traditions with families that have lost a loved one to look for someone on the angels trees the same age of the person theyre missing. Is that the tradition you are starting?
Its awesome either way.. enjoy the polar express (mason calls it the polar expresk)!!
