We didn't run an actual marathon -- we had one of the holiday variety! Seriously, this Christmas season felt like a marathon! We are so lucky to have both sides of the family living so close, and that meant having five days of non-stop Christmas fun. Lindsay handled it like a champ -- Todd and I, though, were exhausted! :) Here are a few highlights...
 |
| We discovered a love for "decorating" this Christmas -- trees, presents, cookies, you name it! |
 |
| She was very comfortable meeting Santa the first time at a Christmas breakfast. When we tried to visit him again at Market Street on Christmas Eve, all she said was "No thanks, not right now." |
 |
| Daddy and Lindsay at the park while Mommy wrapped presents |
 |
| Santa came to Lollie and Pops' house and brought an awesome Little People Princess Castle (and all of the princesses)! |
 |
| The first of many years of handmade Christmas ornaments for my tree. :) |
 |
| Checking out the fun "kitchen" (stove) Santa brought to Grandma and Grandpa's house. |
 |
| Holding on tight to "Jingle" (an Elf on the Shelf plush toy -- no hiding or special powers) while we took a road trip to Memaw's house. |
 |
| Concentrating very hard to put ornaments on the tree... |
 |
| Lindsay loved helping us decorate for Christmas! |
As much fun as we had over Christmas, Lindsay was very concerned when she noticed people in the neighborhood taking down their decorations. She still asks me every day on the way home from school, "Where are the Christmas lights, Mommy?". She also got very upset when the tree was packed away! We've tried to explain that Christmas is over and that we'll do it again next year, but how do you explain a the concept of a year to a 2 year old?!?
