2019
“I wanna go Chris’mas, pleeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!” Alana clasped her hands tightly toward her chest, her eyes closing with her plea. “Okay”, I smiled. “We’ll go Christmas” And on this last day of winter break, January 6th, 2019, we went ‘Christmas’. And of course what Alana means by “go Christmas” is a desire to go to the snow. (Where she made that relationship between the holiday and a white winter sledding trip, I don’t know, but it’s rather sweet). Alana proceeded to jump for joy, and followed her gleeful dance with a very baritone- “Santa! Ho Ho Ho!!” (She really is so incredibly cute and vocal). We enjoyed our short drive up to the mountains and spent a greater part of the day sledding and photo-snapping. And though we didn’t get a chance to see Santa in January (Alana certainly asked: “I won see Santa”!), we had a decadent day, with the girls wearing their new snow bibs they received (on the *actual Christmas).
