I'm sure most people don't want to know that this is how long we have until Christmas but...it's true!!! I know you're thinking...Casey, we haven't even had Halloween yet! Well, I'm the annoying person who LOVES Christmas. My tree goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving, the Christmas music starts for an entire month, I start to bake Christmas cookies and any other sweet thing I can find, watching old Christmas movies...I love it!
This year is even more exciting...it's Bo's 1st Christmas! I realize that to him it's just going to be fun to play with paper that makes a lot of noise, but this is something I've dreamed about since I knew I wanted to be a mommy! Christmas with a little one...the innocence that comes with Santa Clause, making ornaments out of construction paper and decorating the tree, watching Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman, leaving cookies out on Christmas Eve for Santa and waking the next morning to see that he ate them all, going for car rides at night to see Christmas lights, hot chocolate and marshmallows, staying up late on Christmas Eve with Jarrod to get things put together, because of course Santa brings everything already assembled, seeing Bo's face on Christmas Day when he sees everything under the tree (I realize we have a few years before this), but everything that comes with Christmas is just so wonderful to me.
I've had people asking about what to get Bo. Since we are scattered all over the place I have started a "wish list" for him online. I wasn't crazy about this idea, because I feel like I'm asking for gifts for my child, but...since none of our family is around us it's hard to know what he likes and is into. If you would like me to send you this info let me know. I'm adding things every so often when I come across something I think he might like. Get ready it'll be here before you know it!
