it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I LOVE Christmas time!  Seeing lights on houses as we drive through town, seeing Christmas trees through windows, unpacking all my lighted houses, snowmen and 30 (yes, 30...I am using that number in reference to myself and I am not sure I like it) holidays worth of ornaments makes me smile every time.  The best part of all, though, is seeing the look on the kids' faces the first time they see my little village all lit up, seeing the tree completely decorated and seeing our house covered in lights as we drive down our street.  These simple little things make them so excited that it gets me excited to do it every year.  I don't care if people come to my house and think that Santa threw up garland and fake snow everywhere or if they compare the lights on the outside of my house to the Griswolds...as long as it makes Cayden and Harper smile I will keep doing it!  Truth-be-told, I will probably keep doing it long after they think it's fun too.  I.JUST.CAN'T.STOP.MYSELF!
