gearing up in first time

I try not to make Christmas about lists but every year I find myself doing it.... buy batteries, wrap gifts, order cards, fill out card, go mail packages, make ornaments, etc....

I wish I could just sit back and watch things unfold but I'm a Mommy now and I have a major part in making the magic.

Although, I feel like I have a handle on things this year. All the gifts are ordered and I even remember to set up the nativity calendar every night.

My boys are truly a blessing, I'm so happy to be their Mommy and see Christmas through their eyes....now I just need to remember to sit back and soak it all in.
