Christmastime continued

I love the holiday season! We had so much fun! Addie is of the age that Christmas is such a magical, exciting time. I really tried to emphasize what Christmas was truly about this year. I told her that Santa was fun and magical but Christmas is about Jesus being born and how we are so excited during Christmas because Jesus saved us!
She asked me how Santa could be real and make-believe at the same time. I told her that it was like when daddy does a magic trick. We don't know how it happens and that's what makes it fun. Anyway, here are some of our Christmas time events.

Ella bella's build a bear birthday party! Can't believe she is 5!
