I love the Christmas season. I love the Elf, Christmas cards, baking cookies, the daily advent calendar, gingerbread houses. I love buying presents and the excitement leading up to Christmas morning. I love all of it. Creating magic is the reason I am so passionate about camp, and being able to do that every day for my children is the best.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But I had a Christmas meltdown this weekend (shoutout to my fellow moms who all know what I&#8217;m talking about). Weeks ago, I bought fun wrapping paper in red Toy Story (for Xander) and green Paw Patrol (for Gussie). I thought I had it hidden, but they saw it and Xander said, &#8220;what&#8217;s that wrapping paper for?&#8221; NOT Santa anymore&#8230; So I went back to the store and found new red Star Wars paper for Xander and blue Frozen paper for Gussie. Last weekend I got all of the wrapping done. Yay for me being so ahead of schedule.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And then I walked by the spare room (where I have wrapping paper, etc) and saw the Star Wars paper out. Did I do that?! No way&#8230; And then Xander said, &#8220;did you see the cool wrapping paper Daddy used for your present?&#8221; and I saw wrapped gifts under the tree in the designated Xander wrapping paper I had already wrapped all of his Santa presents in.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I won&#8217;t go into the details of the tantrum I threw. I&#8217;d like you to imagine our family holding hands and singing Christmas carols and being picture perfect&#8230;. lol. It was not like that. Weeks of early elf mornings, long to do lists of millions of Christmas details to take care of, and a never-ending mess of sprinkles on my floor bubbled up and spilled all over my poor husband, who had no idea that his beautifully wrapped gifts had sabotaged my way ahead-of-the-game wrapping job.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Round 3 of red paper from the store, full blown tantrum unwrapping, and then I re-wrapped all of Xander&#8217;s presents. &#8216;Tis the F-ing season&#8230;. It was an early bedtime for me that night.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On Saturday night, the boys had a slumber party at Grandma Debbie&#8217;s house. They were so excited and they had a blast as always. Xander was pretty determined that they were going to go to Target (on the Saturday before Christmas) but that didn&#8217;t happen, despite him getting himself bundled and ready to go. Even without a shopping trip, they had a great time.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-lrFmOhCiNrA\/X-AQRpMSbPI\/AAAAAAAAGiY\/uPNwRq4_7tUJ2d1lzfIggobZUCONNMFyQCLcBGAsYHQ\/s1032\/IMG_1114.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1032\" data-original-width=\"774\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-lrFmOhCiNrA\/X-AQRpMSbPI\/AAAAAAAAGiY\/uPNwRq4_7tUJ2d1lzfIggobZUCONNMFyQCLcBGAsYHQ\/w167-h222\/IMG_1114.JPG?resize=167%2C222&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"167\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-TrDaMBdYRmY\/X-AQRrAVjsI\/AAAAAAAAGiU\/RAzhFIrca3AE0QJu1DcVpZs_c33YKZ0AQCLcBGAsYHQ\/s1032\/IMG_1112.JPG?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1032\" data-original-width=\"774\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-TrDaMBdYRmY\/X-AQRrAVjsI\/AAAAAAAAGiU\/RAzhFIrca3AE0QJu1DcVpZs_c33YKZ0AQCLcBGAsYHQ\/w165-h220\/IMG_1112.JPG?resize=165%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"165\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div>Our elf has been busy this week.

We picked the boys up a little early from school and they were excited, and Xander was in disbelief when he found out we were going all the way to WISCONSIN! He was so funny saying, &#8220;NO?! REALLY!?&#8221; It was only a 30 minute drive, but he was quite tickled that we were in another state! Sam&#8217;s Christmas Village was cool- you walk around outside and there are big lighted structures (some that you can walk through). We got lucky and the weather was lovely.
