Yesterday afternoon, we put up our Christmas tree and decorated it with the ornaments that we have been collecting over the years. Next, I put on Big Sister's favorite Christmas CD (Here Comes Santa Claus: A Family Christmas - Volume 1) and we spent some time just playing. Together, we bundled up with hats and scarves to keep our bodies warm against the cold, snowy afternoon and climbed into our magical horse-drawn sleigh which happily carried us to Papa's house. When we arrived, we were greeted with piping hot mugs of cocoa overflowing with marshmellows and of course, home-made cookies. There always has to be cookies! We greeted each other with hugs and kisses and exchanged pretend gifts. It was a lovely afternoon! The trip cost nothing but our time was precious!
The greatest gift we can ever give our children is our time!

we put up the tree the other day and my girls enjoyed it so much. It was such a fun afternoon with Christmas music in the background.
I think we are going to do cookies together tomorrow.
