Oh it was the night before Christmas and I stayed at my nieces. I have done this every year and I have not missed a year since Madison was introduced into my world. I get so excited to be there when they go to bed and then when they wake up again in the morning. This year we decided to make a gingerbread house and have a photo booth set up to add to the fun.

I will always remember the sound of pitter patter on the floor and the words "Santa came" coming out of my little Sparky Ming Ming's mouth. As they went to bed, and snuggled all in, and fell asleep within seconds...I imagined how excited they must be. Oh I was just as excited, who was I kidding? I love giving to them exciting gifts and sharing with them the excitement of Christmas.

Christmas Day we all go my parents for both breakfast and supper with a much welcomed afternoon nap in between (if I can settle myself enough to do that). Christmas is all about giving and sharing love. It is the most exciting day of the year when everyone's hearts are so full of love that they might explode! I wish this feeling would last year round for everyone.

I sure do love my family, each one of them for a different reason. Mostly because they all make my heart smile.
