The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

While the holiday decorations have been up since Thanksgiving, we are really starting to get into the holiday spirit here at the Peavy household. We always have Christmas music on and I love that D-man knows many of the songs and sings all the songs completely off key. Today we baked cookies and watched "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."  It really is the most wonderful time of the year and yet so hard for so many.

As we donate money to the food bank, adopt a child to make sure they have a Christmas, donate coats and gloves to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless in partnership with D-man's school, and donate toys to Wee Cycle through T-man's school, it really makes you realize how fortunate we truly are. We've been using these opportunities to teach the boys about giving and being thankful for all that we have. I know that I am.

Note: the Navity scene has been specifically decorate by D-man. When I spread the set out a bit, he asked me if I had moved it and promptly moved everything back.
