The Fox Family Christmas 2012! This year, we kicked off the season with the Biltmore House Christmas Candlelight Tour, something I've wanted to do for years, and it did not disappoint! The experience was beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic, and perfect (check out my instagram photos in the side bar). And staying in the most perfect little cabin in Asheville, was the icing on the cake.
Family, friends, and Hannah's pink-eye (yes, that's right, pink-eye) came and went, and so did my sanity, periodically. Christmas day was great, except for when Ethan got up at 4am, at which point we said, "No...just no...." 5am rolled around, and we finally caved...somebody gimme some bean! (coffee)
After our blood pressures stabilized, we had a fun and relaxing day. The Kindle Fires were a hit, especially with my 9yr old! So, I took some silly pictures (see above) and we played, we giggled, we ate, made mimosas and watched A Christmas Story over and over, (Ralphie's mom is the best!), and I lounged around in my new, red, Christmas bathrobe complete with Christmas socks, all day! While the above photo doesn't convey this, our resident IT professional also had a fun day! hahahaha!
On Christmas Eve night, my special little snowflake (Ethan) and I had a conversation about gift giving, etc..., and we came to the conclusion that Jesus was the one who should be getting gifts, after all it's his birthday!
So, while Christmas time can be hectic and crazy, ultimately great family, friends and fabulous Christmas music make it easy for me to love every minute of it! By the way, next time you get a craving for iced, decorated sugar cookies, consider the photo below, as it may influence your decision!
