Christmas will be different next year

CHRISTmas was wonderful this year...with garrett & natalie being teenagers we don't have cookies & milk sitting out anymore for santa...nor do take them to sit on santa's lap to tell him what they want for CHRISTmas...next year will be different
* we will take mallory lael to sit on santa lap..HO HO HO
* will she scream, cry or smile on santa's lap? i'm going with crying
* will she be mesmerized with all the glistening CHRISTmas light? i bet she will
* will she like the taste of a candy cane? i hope so
* will she understand that we are celebrating Jesus birthday? probably not but we will tell her of our Saviors birth

we have a family tradition in our home...we let the kids pick one gift to open on CHRISTmas eve...we've always had fun with this...natalie can never decided what gift to open (she is the undeceive one of the bunch)...garrett he picks one & never looks back...will mallory lael be undeceive like her big sister natalie??? will she be like her big brother pick a gift and go on? i bet she'll be mallory lael the little person God made her to be just PERFECT ;)

next year will be different...mallory lael will of just turned 2 when CHRISTmas rolls around next year...we have talked about how it will be with mallory her with us next year...natalie has plans for them to wear matching CHRISTmas pj's...i like that idea natalie has always worn CHRISTmas pj's CHISTmas eve...she brought down a pair she wore a few years ago she said "mom save these for mallory"...i didn't tell her but mallory will be 12 before they will fit her...CHRISTmas pj's are classic they will still be cool in year 2017...
