i heart christmas....

i just don't know how you can't have a permanent smile on your face at christmas time...there is so much out there that is special...the presents just aren't important in my book. having these christmas memories is something i will always cherish...we took taylor to her first christmas parade last night and despite one tiny meltdown (that was solved w/ a quick lolly pop given by the elves in the parade), it was a blast.
