I love the Christmas season. I love how magical it is with kids. I love that Mr. Elf is keeping Stone in his place (we bought an elf, and place it in different places around the house--he's Santa's eye at the Jessup home, and reports back to Mr. Clause on how Stone is behaving. It's working great. Thanks, Mom, for the idea!).
I love that Stone kind of gets what Christmas is really about, and knows that Jesus' parents are Mary and Joseph. At first he thought we were celebrating Santa's birthday, but now he gets it.
What is there not to like about this season? I love everything about it!
I can't find the actual picture I paid for (I'll post it as soon as I find it), but here are some of the outtakes I managed to snap when my kids went to see Mr. Clause, himself.
The other day, we were pulling up to TJMaxx (Oh, how I love TJ), when Stone remembered that he had seen Batman underwear there a few days previous when we made a quick stop by the store. He said, "Ohh, mama, are we here to get my Batman undies??" We've been telling him for a few weeks now not to ask for things when we're out and about, because Santa needs to have things to bring him. SO, I said, "oh no, but you can ask Santa for some!!" Stone's response?...
"Ooooh no, no, no, no, Mommy. I'm not asking him for undies! I'm asking him for a remote control helicopter and a new movie about Toy Story. No undies."
HA! He'll be surprised when he actually finds them in his stocking. :)

As far as Emerson Rose, she is TOTALLY walking. Remember when I posted the video of her walking just a week ago? Well, my babe-a-loo hardly crawls anymore. She's all about walking. She's a pro now. Here's a quick video for our journaling sake, and well, because she's too dang cute:
I hope everything is feeling the Christmas spirit. Merry Christmas!

Oh I love their little outfits. Emerson looks like she handled the big red suit pretty well. We do the "Elf on the shelf" It's on amazon there is a book and a little elf with it you read and every day find the elf in a new spot watching to see if kids are good. Such a fun tradition!
We totally want to do the elf thing too! We heard about it last year and thought it was hilarious! Love the Christmas picture! Ah, we'll miss u guys this year :(
See, and Ben actually ONLY wanted undies for Christmas. :) Stone and Emerson are cuties!
