This morning, my littlest blessing waddled into our room and went straight for my scrapbook desk. She pulled out the big blue Christmas scrapbook, not even knowing what it was.  One by one, my little ones tumbled into the bed as we read it; page by page.  It was such a great way to start our day.  The scrapbook starts with all of our traditions listed (with room for more that should come, because with growing families and distance to go sometimes, flexibility will always be a tradition) Then it dives into the year I was pregnant with my oldest. It carries through until my youngest's first Christmas (THANK GOD I HAD GOTTEN THAT FAR!!!).  They wanted to talk about every picture and were SO excited when we got to each year that they were introduced.  It was a lot of fun.  After we all finished, got dressed, and ate breakfast, I heard Graycen (my oldest) singing "...on Christmas Day in the Moooornin'!" 

I am not one to skip right over Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to spending time with family on that day too.  I just LOVE knowing that Christmas  is right around the corner!!! Don't you?
