We had so much fun this Christmas with Ms. Kallie Bates. She loved every moment of the holiday season in fact she told me it was “magical”. From cutting down our tree, to putting up decorations & lights, to driving around looking at Christmas lights, to looking at each and every ornament as we decorated the tree to, to putting cookies out for Santa and carrots for the reindeer, to of course opening presents Christmas morning - it truly was “magical” from beginning to end. I loved watching Kallie’s eyes light up and listening to her stories about Santa and of course Crack Crack our elf.
On Christmas morning she ran in our room and snuggled in our bed. For one moment, she actually forgot that it was Christmas until I said “do you think Santa came last night?” and off we went. She literally squealed when she saw her princess tent next to the tree which was exactly the reaction I was hoping for. We started by opening our stockings . . . Kallie took great pride opening each and every gift slowly and showing them to us one by one . . . her favorites being the princess tent and the snow globe.
Later in the day it was off to Grammy and Papa’s for Christmas dinner. Much to Kallie’s surprise Santa came to their house too! Every year my mom goes overboard and this year was no different. Kallie and her cousins were in heaven . . . too cute!!
I am one lucky mom!
We never knew the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
