Here comes Santa Claus!

I took the boys downtown to the Santa Claus parade on Saturday night. We met up with friends and sat together on the sidewalk, drinking hot chocolate, eating cookies and singing Jingle Bells as we waited for Santa to arrive. It was the perfect night, frosty and cold, and everything twinkled. I love Christmas time. The magic in the air makes everything nicer, doesn't it? 

I'm starting to feel it, and I know the boys are too. They're excited for the holidays, and are already counting the days until they can open the advent calendar. Not long now! {oh, and speaking of not long... don't forget to send your ornaments for the swap by Friday!}
