We’ve made a list and checked it at least twice. Boys have excitedly crossed off “clean bathrooms”, as well as “wrap gifts” (the latter with, perhaps, a bit more excitement.) There’s nothing like waking up on Monday morning and realizing that it’s the week of Christmas!

These last few days have been:

cousin-loving,

baby-gazing,

breakfast-making,

hair-braiding,

baby-clothes-ironing,

nativity-arranging,

pb&j’ing,

book-reading,

gift-wrapping,

tree-gazing…

…kinds of days.

And any minute, my little ones will wake up with an explosion of excitement: A few more hours, and the celebration really begins!
