I just love this time of year and love living it through Mak and CB&#8217;s eyes.  They are SO Excited.  The first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is run to fix their manger on the hearth.  They ask no less that 3000 times a day &#8220;How many more days &#8217;til Christmas?&#8221;  But you know what&#8217;s funny?  Neither one of them have asked for any specific thing from Santa this year.  Mak keeps saying &#8220;Santa knows what I want&#8221;.  Great.  Hope he&#8217;s right!  This weekend we started off with the Third Annual Gingerbread Party at Brian and Jennie&#8217;s house.  There were more kids this year than ever before and Mak and CB had SOOO much FUN!!  Thanks for another great party, y&#8217;all!  There are a lot more pictures&#8230;I&#8217;ll get them up on Facebook soon!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7684\" title=\"gbread-007\"
