I love Christmas! I love decorating my house! I love putting up the Christmas tree! I love baking, making candy, filling stockings, wrapping gifts, and most of all, I love that my sister and nieces and nephew come to visit!
As has become tradition, on Christmas morning, we host a brunch for our family and friends who want to come along too! After we eat, we open gifts and play Christmas bingo for prizes. Once everyone is full, the kids usually end up playing Rock Band with Uncle Steve.
This year, Birthmom, Birthgrandma and Birthuncle will be here for brunch too, and we are very excited to have them along. I love how naturally they have become a part of the family. This will be wonderful for Emmalyn...we want her to see us as one family who all love her...not a family here and a family there.
As Christmas approaches, I can't help but think about how wonderful this Christmas will be. I also can't help but think about next Christmas...Emmalyn's first Christmas...and how much more wonderful it will be simply because she will be with us!
So, if in all my wrapping, baking, candymaking and daydreaming I fail to blog, I want to be sure to take the time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Holiday joy to all!
