Hold me mommy!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME!! I really love it this year in our new home.  I am trying to cook a meal for someone today who just had a baby, make calendars for grandparents, bake cookies with the kids, wrap presents, and send out Christmas cards. I stopped to take Nani on a long walk in the middle of it all and my sweet Holden was saying "Hold me mommy". I DID!! He is heavy but I will hold and carry him until he doesn't ask me to anymore. He just turned 4 and is such a sweet soul. He is rowdy but loving. He loves babies and animals. I picked him up and he gave me a rock. He loves to give me rocks and pine cones and sticks and weeds. I keep a lot of them. They are precious to me. He is home with me today and so fun to be with. Tanner lost another tooth 2 nights ago. He sure is a snaggle tooth. :) He is so cute. He just turned 7 and loves to ask lots of questions about things. He loves to draw and pretend. We worked on his homework together last night and wrote about a holiday tradition. He wrote about Billy and I taking them to church on December 23rd every year and then we go look at lights and get Peachwave(frozen yogurt). They even have Eggnog which is my fave. It has been our own family tradition for the last few years and he wrote about it for school. Such a precious boy. He loves to pretend and this year he loves pretending he's Santa. He makes a beard and puts socks on his hands for gloves. HIS IMAGINATION is big and I love it about him. I am so grateful for my boys. Billy and I have our own tradition of shopping together every year and this year we did 2 nights. Sushi and shopping. I have so much fun parenting with him. He makes me laugh. Our annual shopping for the boys and rest of the family is one of my all time favorite things. We have a system and are in sync.  I love my family. Thanking God for our new home this year and all the memories we will make here. So Grateful!! 1 Peter 4:8 Above all love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
