It's Christmas Eve in the Thomas house and we were determined to find the best way to deck the halls. And if you live in Maineville, you look no further than the short jaunt to The Christmas Ranch to find your jingle!
We braved the cold to share Christmas Eve dinner, stroll through the lights and warm ourselves by the campfire. It was a perfect evening. We even got to visit with the big guy himself. And with no prompting, the boys jumped in line to meet him! I've asked for years, only to be met with an eye roll.
But tonight, we all found our Christmas spirit. The boys took a moment this season and shared it with everyone in Santa's workshop. There wasn't an adult in the place that didn't think that Santa, Hunter and Will were the best shot of the evening. Mom got the opportunity to watch the boys in action, laughing and joking with the big guy as they struck a pose. And I got the opportunity for one more Christmas picture. I love the ones of the boys, sitting on Santa's lap, whispering gift ideas in his ear. But this one is far more special.
So tonight, it's not about the ribbons, the bows, the paper or the packages. It's not about the stockings or the tree. It's about the two minutes the boys spent giving me the best gift ever...without even knowing it.
