This weekend we put up the Christmas tree. Bitter sweet. Our ornaments we made last year with pics on them, some of Landon, some of Paige. It is difficult to look at his stalking hanging knowing he is not physically with us to sing songs and watch the tree lights and run around and tear it all apart. It is difficult thinking about Christmas Day and taking a tree to the cemetery..............so many inoscent children lost to soo many nasty diseases/cancers/tragic accidents.....................so many brave and strong willed parents/siblings/family member/friends trecking through the tough days that must be faced.
Paige thought since the tree was up, Santa must be coming that very night! I keep telling her 2 more weeks of school and her mind keeps comprehending 2 more days! I finally showed her on the Calendar this morning and we counted 10 more days of school...........She seriously broke out crying.............."10 days, that is too long" Poor thing. I still have no idea what I am getting her for Christmas. I did tell her the other day that maybe we could go to the dog rescue and rescue a dog and that could be her Christmas gift. She likes that idea..................I am still thinking on that one :)
I am trying to get her to understand the true meaning of Christmas........... not just presents.

Cayden shrieked at the fact of 10days of school too..haha..I think saving a dog is a wonderful idea.. we got our Lab Molly a week or so after Ella passed and she has been a life saver for Cayden.. she is completely dependent on him and just wants to be with him all of the time.. I admit the timing was not the best, but she makes him smile.. she makes all of us smile for that fact..
