Making memories is sometimes only for the REMEMBERING years later! One such event that is not always so delightful DURING the moment is taking the kids to see Santa. However, keep in mind that the photographs of the moment 19 years later don't come with sounds of screaming toddlers or teens nor do they require a fashion consultant's opinion on what not to wear!
My only daughter is now 6 and holidays with her seem to bring out something in me that lay dormant with the three other boys. Although I attempted to introduce crafts and decorating edible items to the boys, these events mostly left me abandon in the kitchen completing the task. My confidence in mothering shattered, I would pick up the pieces of my wounded heart and clean up the remnants of the project. Why did these three creatures not want to spend time creating something yummy and fun?
