Christmas

Christmas was a little different this year. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the whole year i love the snow and how pretty it makes everything i love the feeling you get around christmas time the giving and all the excitment of whats coming and who is coming and then of course all the family time together and all the traditions i just love it but this year i had a lot harder time getting into the spirit of things or even wanting to plan things to do or go places. I had to put a lot more effort into this year and i think it was just because i knew that we were missing one person in our family and this year and all though i know she was here in spirit it was hard to not have her hear to open presents with or even to buy her things. Before we knew anything was wrong my mom and i had already started talking about christmas and what we wanted to make for everyone this year and of course we talked about making mackenzie blankets and little things for her to play with so when christmas came around it was harder than i thought it was. We did do lots of fun things which helped get me more in the spirit of things. Kennady and I went to the mall to see santa she loves going to see all of those things at the mall.
My parents got kennady a new bike with training wheels and she loves it she is learing to ride it really well.
Cody always gets movies cause i go out the day after thanksgiving and they always have movies for 3 bucks so i get a few for everyone each year. This year he got the men who stare at goats and princess bride.
I of course got eclipse.
Kennady and Cody opening stocking stuff from santa.
Kennady was excited about her silly bands
She also got bath markers which have been a hit.
It was a good christmas and we had a lot of fun i know that each year it will be easier and easier not having mackenzie here but she will always be here with us in spirit.
