Another Christmas

Another successful Christmas has come and gone.  We had a small taste of chilly winter weather but mainly it was just another sunny day in CA.We celebrated with new family member's, enough tamales for weeks of leftovers, a Christmas toast, to the up and coming 2014 weddings and new found Lego obsessions.
As Dylan left cookies for Santa, reminded me to cut up carrots for the reindeer and to, "leave Santa with regular milk, mom!", I had a proud moment... I have kept this tradition and magic alive. I'm afraid this might be the last year of magic. I will have to create new traditions, maybe I'll try the "Pickle in the Tree" one. Until then I will forever treasure the home footage of this past Christmas morning magic.   
Wrapping paper all packed up, lights taken down and the Christmas tree that was center stage is now sitting outside waiting for it's final destination. It's on to getting back into he groove of the daily life without that Christmas sparkle. 
Blessing and love.
