It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year!

We started the season off with a trip to Bryson City, NC to ride the Polar Express.  We had so much fun watching the excitement in Becca’s eyes.  This will definitely become a new family tradition!

We also took advantage of all of the great Christmas lights!  We took a trip to the zoo and Saluda Shoals.  Becca loved all of the Christmas lights this year.

Christmas Eve was also spent creating wonderful memories with family.  We made cookies for Santa, a gingerbread house (which was a first for everyone), and even opened a few presents.  The night ended with Santa visiting:)

Christmas day was another magical day.  Oh how it melts my heart to watch Christmas through the eyes of a two year old.  Becca certainly received a lot of presents, and while we all enjoyed all of our ‘stuff’, we most enjoyed the time we were able to spend together with our family.  JP and I are very blessed that our families celebrate Christmas together.
