Mama Mia Chronicles

Christmas this year feels a lot different than the years before. I have a feeling that focus is changing from material to more of an atmospheric. At lest my children are not really constantly bugging me about presents. It was so simple this year. I just told them to tell Santa what they want and that was it. Well, they still want everything they see on TV, but I am so accustomed to that that I just ignore them. I even had a really candid conversation with my older one after he failed, in spite of his best efforts, to buckle himself in his car seat. I told him that I will get him a new car seat for Christmas instead of toys. His response was, does that mean that I will get no toys at all? I had to crack up at his thought process. Mind you, this is a boy who last year told us that he doesn't need Santa because he has grandma. I told him that he will probably get something from Santa and grandma, but he is getting car seat from me, and he was fine with it.

So, really strange things are happening. I got my baby a Levi's jeans.

Yup, that is a butt of a 3yo.

And this is a real deal!

My baby was a part of a Christmas program at school this year. And if you are wondering what he was...

He was a Star!!! It doesn't get more important than that.



Mama's joy and happiness spent most of the program picking his nose!

But he also posed for mommy and didn't do much else. Mama's joy, I tell you! Being a Star is a hard and important job. Mama was so proud of him.

Christmas preparations, aka Baking Cookies, coming soon...
