we had such a fun christmas this year! luc was really into it. he was so excited to meet santa, he told him he wanted a semi-truck, and we made reindeer food to sprinkle on the front lawn, and cookies for santa to eat on christmas eve. every night we added to our nativity advent calendar, and we talked about the story of jesus's birth, and every night luc asked if it was time to put jesus in the manger yet {the last night of the nativity}, he was so excited about it. we sang 'away in a manger' each night before bed, and it was such a sweet experience for our family to feel that christmas spirit in our home. luc was very curious about why jesus wasn't born in a hospital, and lia LOVED it when we sang.
on christmas morning, the kids were up super early {6:30} and of course luc was thrilled to see santa had come. {though he was sad that santa didn't stay to see his presents, haha!} lia loved her dolly and shopping cart immediately, and then contentedly sat and ate crackers while we opened presents. she had zero interest in opening anything, but she loved being in the middle of the action, just watching everything. luc was a happy whirlwind, he wanted to open it all at once! we had to pace him, and he was still completely done in under 30 minutes.
it was a hundred times more fun experiencing the magic of christmas through these two cuties!
