each year... around july... i start getting excited for christmas! this year, it was in march... i am so freaking thrilled for christmas with rome! i have been ecstatic about all the gifts, stockings, santa, music, and etc... but also deeply convicted... how will i raise my child to understand why we celebrate christmas... why do we give gifts? why do we sing songs? why do we eat such big meals with all the family... so this is what i am most looking forward to, our christmas conversations...
and well... it's a family tradition to have our picture taken with santa! i couldn't not!!
