Well, this year Cody is 19 months and can understand a little bit more about Christmas! Its awesome! I feel like a kid again because sharing all of our Christmas traditions with him makes our family remember how fun it used to be! (Lately Christmas has lost a lot of it’s luster!) Anyways, with Cody so aware, we have made it a point to try and explain what Santa is and does. We have already had lots of practice opening gifts and he even left out cookies and milk for Santa! Whats cool about all this (and a little silly) is that I feel a little bit excited about Santa! Even though I am technically  “Santa”… I guess the exciting part is the whole spirit of the season and the fun I have pretending! Both of which is too easily lost as adults. I’m so excited to be a kid again! Even if it’s only at heart!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Santa's Gift to Cody

Here are a couple of fun things I did for Cody!

I made some “Santa Stationary”, nothing fancy, but cute! I wrote a little letter about how he is a good boy but needs to stop head-butting his parents and the furniture!

I also tracked Santa with the help of NORAD. I took a screen shot of “where Santa was” when Cody went to bed. I’ll also try to get one when he’s in Colorado. (Geeze I feel like the biggest dork right now!)
