Tis the Season

This Christmas season was definitely one of the most fun ones we’ve had in a while – Maggie began to get excited by Santa, reindeer, snowmen…everything holiday related.  She had a pair of reindeer antlers that were worn daily from December 1st onwards!

Pre-Christmas we enjoyed the first snowfall of the year (little did we know it would be a while before we’d see it again!), went to Edaville Railroad, visited Stone Zoo for their Zoo Lights and to see Santa, baked cookies, and enjoyed lots of cousin time.

And finally, after nightly readings of the Night Before Christmas, it finally was, the night before Christmas….

We all had a lovely Christmas – Maggie was really into ripping the wrapping paper and received so many lovely gifts, she’s still making her way though all the new toys!  As always, I’m sad to say goodbye to the Christmas decorations and extra family time, but on to 2015 we go!
