Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, as we do every year. This year, it seemed a little different. More magical. I saw Christmas through the eyes of a two-year-old child, and it really showed me the excitement that Christmas can bring to a young life. Mira really got into the spirit this year, helping me create window crafts, counting down the days on her Advent calendar, moving the snowman as each day progressed, "helping" me wrap presents. She even found a toy in her Christmas stocking which I had filled a couple of weeks early. When I told her that Santa had so many houses to stop at and that he sometimes needs to come early, she accepted the story and didn't touch the stocking again. It paid off. She got a few Dora toys and some hair accessories, which she insisted on wearing all at once! It's been a wonderful month and I'm sad to see the season end. Here are a few photos of our Christmas. She had a great time at all the houses we went to. I think seeing Santa two times (!) was her favorite.
Love, Michelle
