we have driven through christmas in the park, been to a christmas cantata and spent the day at my work christmas party today.
jeff and i have shopped our hearts out, hung the garland, trimmed the tree and there is even snow outside.
i am lucky enough to have three of my four still believing in santa this year. molly used her engineering mind to figure out that is just not a possibility, but is playing it up well for the others. she was even kind enough to go see santa with them today, but when he asked what she wanted she didn't really have an answer.
ashton was nervous and got really into it. he wanted legos, kung zhu zhu pets and a new night lite. maggie bounded onto santa's lap and let him know she only wanted a new baby this year. easy. i couldn't hear carson, but think he said zhu zhu pets also. fine.
the best part of the day was when we were walking out. ashton grabbed my hand and said mama i love you. i said i love you too buddy. he said this was really fun.
yep ashton, it was. he says - do you know what was the most fun thing about it?
what buddy? we got to pick just what we wanted.
i know that doesn't really mean anything to most people, but it tore me up. i just can't believe he thought that was such a big thing, picking his soda, picking his craft, his snack, his book. maybe he doesn't get a say in things very often, just goes with the flow of what the older ones want or the really loud one wants.
he sure will now.
