Merry Christmas!

By Katie M

Merry Christmas Everyone! As you read this post, my family and I are on an airplane heading to NJ to see family and friends. As we've done in years past, we celebrate Christmas one day early because we travel north. I blogged about our crazy Holiday Traditions in a past blog in case you missed it.

We had a wonderful Christmas morning yesterday. Our new thing each year is to strive for the "Wow!" moment from each child with at least one unwrapped present under the tree. This year, Emily's "Wow!" came from a pop-up princess tent castle, and Henry got his "Wow" from an Imaginarium train table topped with Thomas-branded treasures. After the mayhem, we attended Christmas Eve mass at our church, enjoyed a dinner out, and then climbed into our beds extra early to rest up for a five more days of merry mayhem!

We hope you had a magical day as well and would love to hear any stories you want to share, especially if and how you achieved the "Wow!" factor for anyone in your family this year.
