We love December

Here is a photo of Mira that almost made the Christmas card. She had a lot of fun taking the pictures, the lure of Santa coming always on her mind. She can hardly wait for Christmas to come . . . in fact, she didn't quite get there. She did open a present under the tree. Just a small one that was actually for Aunt Kelly! (Sorry, Kelly!) Fear not, Mira helped me rewrap it and we had a little conversation about how all the presents weren't for her, but that Santa was surely going to bring her some nice gifts to celebrate her patience this month. Imagine how long a month feels to a child! I do admire Mira's honesty, though. I came home from work and Chris asked Mira if she had something to tell me. She sheepishly admitted she opened a present from under the tree. I told her I really appreciated her honesty and that it was very nice that she told me, then she helped me rewrap it so she could see how much work is involved in wrapping a present. I think she understands now.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. May you be safe while Christmas shopping! (So glad I'm done!)
Love, Michelle
