Christmas projects...fun fun fun!!!
My most favorite memories of Christmas aren't just on that day, but of the family memories of all the projects leading up to Christmas Eve. I love the time spent on the floor quilting with my girls, painting with my boys, or watching the creative mind at work as my girls place each bead gently on the wire as they make gifts for their friends and unsuspecting family members. The giggles, the sighs, the look of contentment once a finished project is realized in all its glory. Aaaah! It's those cozy nights of licking the colored frosting off the spoon, smelling the sweet cocoa scent of chocolate chips from the oven, and just being together. That is what I love about these moments in life...and Christmas best of all.

Beautiful sentiments. Thank you so much for inviting me to view your lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteI feel almost guilty about this but I think I enjoy the special moments shared prior to Christmas in the kitchen, warming our hears and souls more than the day itself. I love to watch the creative process and see my daughters eyes come alive when they've created something tangible, all their own.
You are such an awesome Mom! Your kids are learning some wonderful skills and will have many warm memories to recall. Isn't that what families are about?
