Christmas Chaos and Joy
Posted by mamas
Posted: December 25, 2008 - 12:17 am
What fun it is to have little ones at Christmas, and what a crazy event! My 4 month old daughter squeaked and crinkled her toy happily and my two year old romped around the room with his red toddler sled! It was joyous, but it was only a matter of time until we reached meltdown. Kids at this age tire quickly and when they're done, they're very done. Still, even with the schedules being off and kids being tired, it was so enjoyable to revel in family time. Making memories that are worth treasuring forever was a perfect way to spend the evening. Many blessings this Christmas to you and yours!
