Holiday Magic – You Capture

December 23, 2010 by Elaine

I’ve always thought there was a little MAGIC in all things small. Like fairies and leprechauns and well, when I was a little girl, even barbie shoes.

Yes I know, I’m weird.

I had a “Littles” doll house that I got one Christmas (I don’t think they make Littles anymore and the “baby” of the family figures was SO small that I was surprised to see that my Mom STILL has it at her house!) and I LOVED placing the furniture around the house and making everything in their tiny home just so.

And for some reason I had a memory of all of this while the boys decorated their annual gingerbread house yesterday. And I could see the MAGIC in their eyes.

Ah, to be a kid at Christmas again. It really is so very MAGICal. 🙂

    My favorite is G looking at the house in wonder. A house you can eat! That is magical!

    Wow! They did a great job on the gingerbread house!
    Christmas sure is magical, isn’t it? And we may not be kids anymore, but having our kids with us does bring the magic back. 🙂
    Hope you have a very blessed Christmas!

    That looks like a much more relaxing construction job than the monstrosity we tried. LOL. Love the wreath! I’ll have to remember that…
