The Schnackenberg Times: Christmas with the Schnacks

I can't believe Christmas is over! The kids were so fun this year. Especially Gavin. The magic of Christmas is so awesome through a 4-year-old's eyes. He was so concerned that Santa was not going to be able to come to our house because we didn't have any snow for his sleigh to land in. Greg convinced him, however, that the elves put tires on the sleigh to land in places that don't have snow. Once that was straight, I've never seen a child want to go to bed so fast in my life! We were out looking at Christmas lights after Christmas Eve mass, and he kept saying he wanted to go home and get "all nestled in my bed so Santa can come." (We've read The Night Before Christmas several times this season)! We got home, and he didn't even want a bed time story. No time for that. Must go to bed. So cute!

Greg took a couple of days off before Christmas, so we were able to enjoy some fun family time. We went to Natchez, MS to look at some of the old Antebellum homes, do some shopping, and look at lights. We also took the kids to Canton, MS where they have a Victorian Christmas celebration every year. Lots of lights and fun activities for the kids. We had a great time. I am so blessed to have such a great family!
