So, here we are, at home, getting ready for Christmas, trying to teach our soon to be 4 yr old the importance of giving, that Christmas is not about getting presents, rather it's about giving...apparently this is where I went terribly wrong.
Maddie and I were wrapping presents for our family and she was helping put them underneath the tree. We were talking about how we were wrapping presents for the people we loved to give them on Christmas and just having, what I thought was a good time, until...
Maddie comes back from present delivery under the tree with a couple of big tears rolling down her cheek. I ask her what's wrong and her response...
"There are no presents under the tree with my name on it. No one loves ME!"
Oh my gosh! I go from trying to teach her something about giving and instead, I crush her little heart....bad Mommy

CRUSHING! But not a bad mommy. Did you tell her that the presents from mommy and daddy just weren't wrapped yet and all the other people have her presents under their tree waiting for her.
Awe so sad. I would have never seen that coming. Hugs
No presents for Maddie??? Would that be because Santa still hasn't made his Christmas Eve rounds to the houses of all the good little boys and girls around the world?
Something tells me Miss Maddie is so very, very loved :)
Merry Christmas! We can't wait to see you in January :) While you are here, maybe Maddie could teach Lily how to smile for the camera... her portraits are ADORABLE! Lily was challenged in the cheerful and smiling department when we went to get her pictures taken this year *lol*. I'll post them soon...
