With Emmy on the way, there will be a few changes being made. Nothing too serious though...
From now on, we will be staying the night at home on Christmas Eve (after the Roby's celebration). This is different because we used to stay the night at my parents house. Reason for the change... Well, it's simple. We want to have our own little family Christmas before going to visit the rest of the family. We want to spend quality time seeing what Santa brought for Emmy, and watching her open gifts from Mommy and Daddy. Also, we want to bake a birthday cake with her in our celebration for Jesus being born. It's absolutely crucial that she understands the true meaning of Christmas.
As far as Santa.... let's talk about that one. I know that I can never predict the future, but this has been a topic that I have really thought about. What will we do the day she asks if Santa is real or not? Here is our response: "No, he is not real, but it is fun to believe he his." My reasoning for this is because I want her to be able to trust us when we tell her Jesus is real. If we say Santa is real, and she finds later in life that he isn't, how is she going to be able to believe anything that comes out of our mouths? Hmm... just my thoughts. To each, their own.
