December!

We are in full swing Christmas mode. All what we have this year for decor is a tree and dollar store stockings. Today I noticed on our picture new testament scriptures that there is a picture of baby Jesus so we added that to our decor too and now it's complete! And it's fabulous. So much less stress. Of course I miss all my decorations but next year when we are moved into a home and have all of our stuff back we'll go crazy decorating again. This year it's so fun because Haylee cannot read enough. She reads everything so she is reading us the christmas story out of the scriptures every night. Brings such a sweet spirit into our home. And we took the kids to see the mall santa. Haylee tells me that the mall santa's are just helpers but not the real Santa. The real Santa is too busy. I told her well sometimes the real Santa has to be at the mall because the helpers are busy too. After we visited him in the mall we figured out that the real Santa is at our mall! And it was exciting!! He was totally the real deal. So so sweet with the kids and very Jolly. We went to a different mall a few days later and this one was for sure just a helper Haylee told me. I agreed with her 100%.
