Merry Christmas! (Eve)

What fun we have been having with all the Christmas traditions. We have made and decorated Christmas cookies, baked biscotti (Caity help to paint butterscotch on them), created our own Ginger (graham cracker) houses, and enjoyed so many classic movies. Caity is still undecided about St. Nick. It looks like this might be the last year for that magic, but she is discovering the other joys of the season that are so much more important in the scheme of things. This morning she told the Christmas story (abbreviated and with great liberties) to Malena who was more interested in trying to take the candy off her candied house. Speaking of Malena, she is right in the thick of the 'magic of Christmas' age. It will be so great to see her face when she comes down the stairs. Colin is just pleased to get a hold of the wrapping paper and have a good ole' time. Merry Christmas!
