Christmas Magic 2016

Feliz Navidad a todos! What a killer Christmas we had this year. Today Sophie woke up telling me she had that “after christmas feeling” and asking if i ever had that. Yes little one, we all know that “after christmas feeling” as a kid. I kind of got it this year as an adult and i just want to do it all over again to see your little faces Christmas morning.

This year the girls still believe in Santa and all the magic that surrounds him so we get to relive that innocence and i am so thankful. We tracked Santa on my phone and the girls fell asleep while he was in Canada. It was tricky keeping it all hidden this year but we did it! Presents were wrapped and carefully stashed in secret places all over the house. It was a Barbie filled Christmas and the girls haven’t stopped playing since.

We had to force them to leave the house yesterday and get some sunshine because they just didnt want to stop playing. We ended up walking to a park that we love in the neighborhood and Sabs fell asleep the whole time. About 10 minutes after getting there the skies opened up and it dumped buckets on us. We hid under the swing set while sophie went to dance in the rain. The river next to us started to roar with a flash flood and as soon as the rain lightened up we made a run for it. Sophie said it was “epic” and Will said it was one of his favorite times since getting to the city. Yup, jungle heads. Rain, rivers, mud and tree climbing.

So grateful for this Xmas and this beautiful life we are able to live together. Grateful for the sparkly little eyes that wake up each morning with love and happiness. Grateful for the snuggles, wonder, magic and laughter that these two bring each day. Merry Xmas, Feliz Navidad!! Videos to come
