I met with Canaan and Rochelle on Monday Afternoon! It was a COLD COLD COLD day!!! Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! They didn’t care though cuz they got to put on there Christmas Clothes and play model for the afternoon……Rochelle was  a little more into the model thing, but Canaan was awesome! He showed me his favorite tree, his cool train set, where his dog sleeps, he told me about his cat named fatso….he told me about how cool his dad was because he’s building him a tree house, (even though Canaan is a little upset because dad cut down his first favorite tree to build the playhouse, then he told me all about how cool his mom is cuz she is gonna make us cookies and cider…..I didn’t realize that when he said us, he meant me too…….I was suddenly transformed into a 8 year old again, I was SO excited that mom was baking us cookies!!!!!! YAY for cool moms!!!!!

When you are a kid what is most  important to you??? Not when the mortgage is due, not if the car payments been made, not if dinner was exactly at 5pm, not if the house is a mess, or they don’t have any clean clothes to wear….must be nice. Kids get so excited over the little things…..the Tooth Fairy, Santa, Cookies, being tickled to death, surprises, having mom or dad play a game, or read a book…. 

The first Picture is Canaan’s “Santa Key” he was SOOOOO thrilled to show it to me…..on the tag it says something like “Santa please stop here”…….I LOVE IT!!!! As moms we need to realize that the little things are the things that our kids love most……..I know I tend to overlook the things my children think are  important  and do the things I think are important…the laundry and house can wait!
