I haven't been able to post any recent pictures because Kyson threw my camera down the stairs and broke it, I'm pretty happy about it. So I decided that I would post some picuturese of Christmas' past. A huge part of the fun of Christmas for me are the memories and traditions. This is Kyson with our new puppy last year. All three of of my monkeys begged for a puppy. I think that they had given up all hope of ever having one. Then we suprised them Christmas morning with our little puppy. We named him Copper. Even though he is totally naghty, we love him and he has been such a good thing for the kids. Another fun memory is a tradition we started last year doing "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Each day we focused on something different. We did random acts of service as a family, made cookies, played games, and many memory creating activities. I gave each of my kids a journal so they could write down some of the things that meant the most to them. I'm excited to get them out this year and read what they wrote. This year each of the 12 days will be focused on a blessing. This fun new tradition has made planning Christmas so much fun for mom. I also think it has really refocused our attention on what is really important during this magical time of year.
