We absolutely love the holidays around here!
It calls for LOTS of family time, laughs, love, food, and just greatness.
Growing up the holidays in my household consisted of just my family that lived with me. I never knew what it was to celebrate the holidays with a big family. Although my family is very large, most of them are across the world so it was just my siblings, parents and I, my parents always made sure it was memorable. I remember the hot chocolate, I remember my parents waking us up at 12am to pick one gift to open to hold us over till the morning. The holidays were great.
Now that I have a daughter the holidays are even better. I want to make hers 10 times better and memorable than mine. Her holidays already consist of so much family. Sekou has such a huge family, so Alani gets to spend time with All her grandparents, some of her great-grands, a great great grand, aunts, uncles, cousins, you get it, just a lot of family. I am so thankful that she has all these people in her life, it makes my heart so happy.
Are you all ready for the holidays? If not get ready it’s right around the corner.
Happy Monday, have a great week!

On Christmas Eve My mom would bake cookies and leave out a tall glass of milk for Santa. The next morning I would run downstairs and always find his hat or glove on the steps and a load of gifts under the tree. The reason I love the holidays is because you feel so much love and joy around you.
