Holiday magic returns!

My Childhood Magic Returns!!

I dont know if its just me but as I got older and into my late teens I started to feel like the magic of all the Holidays was disappearing. I was the last child so traditions faded and all the excitement for trick or treating, santa clause, leaving milk and cookies out, the easter bunny..it was no longer a part of the Holiday because I had reached the age of, "your too old!" However, what I thought would be gone forever has somehow snuck silently back into my life with the birth of my baby boy! I get to share in the joy of holidays even more now as I start new traditions with my growing family! Now I get to feel a whole new magic as I step into the shoes of santa clause, the easter bunny, and the leader of all the festivities! I am so excited to begin this journey and watch the twinkle in my children's eyes as they feel that warm feeling we all know...that peaceful yet totally exciting tingle...the magic that holidays bring to the souls of all little ones....and their parents!

Kellens first Holiday other than the 24th of July, the day he was born, was Halloween!! Usually My sister in law Nikki makes pumpkin soup a few days before the 31st and we eat and carve amazing pumpkins in st george but this year we couldnt make it down there so I forced Jordan and his family to share in my holiday cheer! I whipped up a delicious bowl of pumpkin soup, got the sweet orange halloween cups and added a few decorations and we had such a fun night full of carving pumpkins, eating and baking pumpkin seeds! It was so much fun and just made me that much more excited to be a little over the top at christmas time as we begin these fun times with Kellen! 

Kellen loved every minute watching us from his bumbo!
