Having younger siblings extended it somehow because even when I knew Santa wasn't real, keeping him alive for them made it magic all over again. And now I feel that wonder through the eyes of my niece and nephews... it's beautiful! I think magic should be created and fostered in lives wherever and whenever we can. How lovely to have all that to look forward to with Rowen...<br /><br />Wishing you a very lovely New Year too. May 2011 bring you and your family more magic and joy - great big dollops of joy! All year.

And Cherry, who could blame you for wishing you got batgirl over floral shorts? I was never into Batgirl, but I was WAY into She-Ra.<br />Mom, you and Dad made Christmas so magical and we can't wait to do the same for Rowen. <br />Thanks to all for reading and commenting! xoxoDobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628050016719412389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083085723556491531.post-40183998993443497482010-12-28T10:46:49.103-08:002010-12-28T10:46:49.103-08:00I stopped believing in Santa the year he gave me f...I stopped believing in Santa the year he gave me floral print shorts when clearly, I asked for a batgirl! ;-)<br />I think Christmas morning is such a spirited time of the year!<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family!<br /><br />Hugs!What About The Girl?https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551227929697269183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083085723556491531.post-71723995136079860692010-12-27T17:29:45.506-08:002010-12-27T17:29:45.506-08:00i loved reading this sheila, it made me think of m...i loved reading this sheila, it made me think of my own childhood memories i am not sure when i stopped believing santa but i am thinking perhaps when my father who was dressed like him got stuck on the balcony and had to call for help:)<br /><br />it profoundly touched me when you said that you were sad when your brother stopped believing, i fully understand and felt what you meant.<br /><br />I dream of what it would be like to have my own children wake up christmas morning, kevin memories are so vivid i believe he will make it a wonderful christmas for his children one day.<br /><br />i love that i too now can read your mums take on things it lovely to have this window into both your memories.onesilentwinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458292042676805987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083085723556491531.post-61591648627394492122010-12-27T11:30:19.494-08:002010-12-27T11:30:19.494-08:00Dad and I fashioned Christmas for you and Mark fro...Dad and I fashioned Christmas for you and Mark from our own Christmas memories, with some special touches of our own. (I think the sooty footprints were an inspired touch!) It is just wonderful to read your description of Christmas morning. That first awed glimpse of the lit tree with the unwrapped packages and gleaming toys! That is the reaction we hoped to elicit. You'll make Christmas for Rowen, now, with your special touches!bdwritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861243569787536081noreply@blogger.com
