Christmas Magic

So, I knew it was coming!  I knew the time would come when Christmas would be magical again!  Not that it's not always magical, but there is something about watching your kids "Believe" in the magic like you once did!!  My new favorite movie of the season is Polar Express!!  Camden LOVES it, and I tell ya-it gets me choked up every time I watch it!!

Over the weekend the boys saw Santa for the first time.  I will not post any pictures yet, b/c they made the Christmas card this year.  (oh and on a side note, there is no family picture on our cards this year.  we just ran out of time and energy to do it!)  I thought Camden was just going to FREAK, but he did well--he told Santa his name, and also told him what we are all dying to know "What do you want Santa to bring you?"
and the answer is. .  .

A YO-YO!!

He has held on to wanting that yo-yo for about 3 months, so I do hope that Santa brings one!!  Santa was at Jason's office Christmas party, and he was great!!  All of the children received gifts from him, and Camden walked by him again to sneak another peek, and Santa looked over and said "Hello there again Camden"!!!!  WOW!!

Monday night Camden left some pictures he had torn out of my People magazine (I know, random, but it kept him busy for a while), and a list for Santa on our foyer table.  Wouldn't you know it, Santa's elves came by and picked them up and left him a note from Santa with a candy cane on it!!  He was so excited, but in the midst of the excitement he asked "Mommy, which elf came for Santa?" "I don't know buddy, just one of his elves." "Well, I know which one it was, it was the one that Daddy recorded for me on ABC!"
He is so smart!!!  He's referring to the little Disney show "Prep & Landing"--if you haven't seen it yet, check it out.  It was really cute.

That's all I've got for now.  I'll post pictures from our visit with Santa, and some outtakes from the Christmas card photo shoot in a couple of days!!
