Although every Christmas season seems to be our favorite, I think I can honestly say this year was the best. Everlee was really into the Christmas spirit and she seemed to notice every sign and symbol. She even made a statement that "it smelled like Christmas". We practiced our favorite holiday traditions of trimming the tree, visiting Santa Claus (numerous times), decorating our Gingerbread house, looking at Christmas lights, and watching our favorite holiday movies. We continued our yearly tradition with visits to Maryland and Pennsylvania. Even though the trips are long, we can never seem to get enough of family and friends. This year we even had the chance to see our cousin Scott's Llama farm. It was pretty interesting to see Llamas up close and personal. Along with our traditional celebrations, we included a few new traditions along the way. We had a surprise visit from Owl the Elf and we went to the Smithsonian Museum in D.C. to see the holiday decorations and dinosaurs. Everlee's favorite gifts this year were her dollhouse, train table, blue bell, mermaid Barbie, and her new Big girl room. We were fortunate to celebrate Christmas several times this year but we always remembered to take time to be thankful for the things that truly mattered. Friends, Family, Health, and Happiness!
