Now I'll admit I've been known to grumble about the shopping part. I can't stand all the traffic and crowds, but I usually enjoy all the other stuff, baking cookies, decorating the tree, building gingerbread houses, Christmas cards, wrapping presents. wearing my jingle bell Converse (Yes, I really own a pair) etc etc. This year...no tree, no cookies, not even a wreath on the door. For whatever reason the holiday spirit has taken an extra long time to reach me this year, but here it is Christmas Eve and I want to share with you some holiday cheer.
Enter Ashleigh, George, and Pierce. They are familiar faces here on my little blog. It just so happens that Ashleigh is my BFF and I refer to Little Pierce as my BBF (Baby Boyfriend.) If any family embodies the spirit of season, it's these guys. Ashleigh will be the first one to tell you that Christmas is almost her favorite time of the year. It's second only to Fall, because Fall means Christmas is right around the corner. She starts listening to Christmas music sometime around July or August. She excitedly texts me at the sighting of the first snowflake. Missing out on the annual viewing of The Nutcracker is a deal breaker. I believe she could give Mrs. Clause a run for her money in terms of holiday spirit.
So when Ashleigh told me she didn't have any pictures for her Christmas cards years, how could I not help out? For a moment, I became Bubbles Peppermint, my elf name, and got my Christmas Spirit vicariously through this wonderful family. :)
We took these earlier this month at a local Christmas tree farm. Little Pierce had a great time running around decorating the pint-sized trees with peppermint sticks.
