Scott and I have tried our darnedest to not rush things with Fiona, but this year has been so special watching her get excited about Santa and all things Christmas, we just can't help it!!
We started the Elf on the Shelf this year. It was absolutely adorable to see how excited she was when we told her that Santa had brought her donuts and her elf, which she named Elf. It hasn't really phased her with the whole "Santa can see you throw this temper tantrum," but Hey! there's always next year....
We have already completed a couple items off of our Christmas bucket list. This past weekend the girls and I joined my parents up in the mountains to pick out the good ol' Bartow family Christmas tree. I think this is the prettiest one yet!
We still have a couple more fun items to complete before the big day!
We have tickets to ride the Triangle Train next weekend. The train is an open air steam engine. It looks straight out of a Harry Potter book! I am so excited about this. Fiona is in love with trains. We have actually tried to ride a train with Fiona 2 times and we have been thwarted by the weather 2 times!! I'm feeling good vibes that the third times the charm.
We still have to see Santa, make Christmas cookies, take a ride to look at Christmas lights and let's not forget squeeze in a couple Christmas vacation marathons!
So excited the Christmas season is finally here!!
