Christmas, Christmas Time is Near

Does my title have you singing the Chipmunks Christmas song yet?! I am SO EXCITED that Christmas IS HERE!!  This is hands-down my favorite time of the year and I'm already getting sad that it's so close to being over.  December is always such a fun and busy month for the Stacy crew.  I love all of the shopping, wrapping, partying and movie watching.  We've had several super fun Christmas parties and Santa encounters thus far.  Stafford is a Santa's, lap-sitting PRO.  I secretly hoped for one of those screaming kid pictures on Santa's lap (is it awful that I love those and think they're hysterical?!) but no-can-do for my little man.  He LOVES Santa even though the picture below doesn't seem like it! I definitely do not have a "smiler" when it comes to getting pictures made. 

Just a few Christmas-y pictures below to leave you with.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
