I am getting very excited for the holiday's this year. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of the year. I love the decorations, the cookie making, the carols and especially the Christmas story. After my little girl was born, Christmas became even more special. I have a picture of Alexis from last year staring at my parent Christmas tree in awe of the lights and the sparkle. This year is even more exciting because Alexis understands so much more. She realizes what a Christmas Tree is. (although all of them are compared to the table top one Ms. Mandy has!) Today we made a trip to Lowes to get some new, fance LED lights for our tree. She loved the lights, decorations and the blow up Santa's and snowmen. Her favorite was a blow up of the M&M's. Alexis and I take a walk together everyday during my break at work and we usually stop in Aunt Jojo's office for a "Nummy" M&M. She pointed out the "nummy's" right away then asked me, "Mamma, I wanna eat it!"

Yes, this year is going to be great. And the years to follow are just going to be better and better!
