Christmas In July 2013

You know how much we love holidays here, right? So any excuse to celebrate one does not go unnoticed. I have been celebrating Christmas in July since the older kids were quite little. It began as a nice break in the middle of summer for a young mommy and her three littles. And because most everything I do becomes some sort of tradition, we are still celebrating it today.

It is not fancy or expensive. We don't decorate or anything crazy like that...we just pause and spend the day together doing a few of the things we love to do during the Holiday Season. This year the weather even cooperated. It was a chilly 65 degrees in Pennsylvania!  So here are a few pictures of our Christmas in July in case you want to think about doing something next year. : )

Ok...I guess we DID decorate a little bit.

 

We pulled out and lit a favorite candle.

 

 

We baked some yummy cupcakes...

 

 

and delivered them to some special family and friends.

 

 

The kids opened a few small gifts...

 

 

and we watched a few favorite movies. : )

 

 

Peyton baked a delicious Red Velvet cake...

 

 

and we called it a day.

Merry Christmas in July friends!
