I am trying my best to stay positive while I wait for this baby to come. I was overdue 10 days with my last, so who knows when this one will decide to join us.<br><br>Your reindeer ornament idea sounds great. You'll have to post pics!<br><br>Also, I LOVE the picture of Sam & Julia sitting on their knees looking at the tree the best. Really sweet. I am waiting for this baby to arrive so I can start trying to snap some pics for our Christmas card, although it may end up being a NEW YEARS card at this rate :)<br><br>A fun tradition we do, is wrap up all of our Christmas stories (books), then every night the kids get to unwrap one for story time. We start it 12 days before Christmas. It only takes a few seconds to wrap up a book, and they REALLY look forward to opening them up at night. Also, we play hide the pickle (ornament) on the tree, and whoever finds it first gets a prize of some sort. We are always trying to think of more meaningful traditions to start as they get older and gain more understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531417754771049461.post-75917849764874676622007-12-02T21:03:00.000-06:002007-12-02T21:03:00.000-06:00Merranda - What a great idea to wrap up the books!...Merranda - <br>What a great idea to wrap up the books! Do the kids help or do you do it so they can be surprised each night? We hide the pickle ornament too. :)<br><br>Hang in there!

I LOVE Julia's hair! Her curls are adorable and go so well with her beautiful eyes. I just read your post about your day. I'm sorry that you had to say "no" to a showing when you're needing your home to sell. I hope you feel better soon. Get lots of rest. I also enjoy reading about your Christmas traditions. Best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
