There is something just magical about Christmas.
There is something magical about not the day, but about the spirit and love throughout the holiday. This past Christmas was super special. I had a "bonus kid" this time.
Kiddo's fiance joined us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning and participated in our festivities and traditions. Not just those 2 big days, but the whole season, his waking moments were all here.
Kiddo's baby sister joined us for a week.
Due to company policy, I ended up out of work 4 days while I waited on covid test, even though I knew it wasn't covid, so I got to spend all that time with the kids.
Fiance and baby sis helped us make ornaments this year. Us girls did the normal ornaments. Fiance did this super cute truck that was our centerpiece between the plants this year. Such kids!!!
They basically had a few Christmas's wrapped in one. Of course there was Christmas Eve and Day. Christmas Eve we opened gifts from each other. Christmas Day we opened Santa gifts. While baby sis was here they had another Christmas and then fiances bday was Black Friday and their year anniversary dating and our familiversary also, they had another day of opening a couple gifts.
Dust Bunny's first gift opened was a Sanford and Son dvd, hence the joke with the truck he painted as his ornament.
to put things in perspective, Dust Bunny and the girls all 3 have similar backgrounds, with a little less than they should have had in their early childhoods. All neglected and/or abused. It was so fun to spoil this boy with my girls. I loved showing him our traditions, spoiling him and letting Santa visit like he should have had at 4 and 5 and 6, etc.
It's such a pleasure to give at Christmas and any time and I loved it so much. He was stunned and amazed at his "loot". He spoiled me a little bit too.
Good kids and such fun.
But why am I talking Christmas this time of year? Because Easter is coming up Sunday and if the kids are super sweet, who knows? Maybe the Easter Bunny will visit.
