Last weekend kicked off the first of our many family Christmas celebrations- and are gearing up for a week of festivities. I do believe that Christmas is my favorite holiday (Nick would probably agree since I get so excited for it and like to start the holiday season early). Once again this year we had all (well, all we could get before Ellie was born) presents purchase before Thanksgiving. With Ellie's impending arrival, the tree was put up ahead of time as well and the presents wrapped and under it.
I did hold off on starting the Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving, thank you very much Lite 104.1 for your non-stop Christmas music! Ellie is a big fan of Christmas music as well. Her favorite songs: Silent Night (in honor/memory of her Great Grandpa Greving), Baby It's Cold Outside, Away in a Manger, the song about a Baby Being Born (I don't know all the names of the songs- just the words), and the Christmas Shoes song. Her non-favorite songs: O Holy Night (she thinks it is over played), Santa Claus is Coming to Town (she must think she was bad this year because almost every time this one comes on she cries), Rudolph (once again, I have no idea but it makes her cry), and any song without words (she likes her Mommy to sing the songs to her). What we are going to do after Christmas and the songs are not allowed (per the radio station and her Daddy), we have no idea! One more week of singing and dancing for Ellie (and Mommy).
If you cannot already tell from the multiple blog posts- we are very excited and super blessed to have Ellie be a part of our lives for this Christmas Season. It makes the season even more fun and we cannot wait until next year when the tree excites her a little more.
