Sammy's Christmas Spirit

Sammy's nickname is Charmer and it is so fitting. She is so full of fun and so happy!
This is Sammy with the first snow fall of the year. It snowed before Thanksgiving and it really put her in the Christmas spirit. Sammy is a Senior in High school and since this is her last Christmas as a child she has been determined to make the most of it. So prior to Thanksgiving our house was decked out for the holidays and Sammy began The Holiday Bucket List.


 This is her chart. She makes me laugh. Out load most of the time.
 I don't know what I would do without my Charmer. She is my sunshine.

 Yes she made a chain to count down the days until Christmas.

 She made amazing snowflake and hung them from the ceiling. Her room is magical. 
I love to go up and lay on her bed with her and enjoy the 
Christmas spirit and of course laugh at all the cleaver funny things she says.

 Her tree. She gathered photos from Christmas past and they were her ornaments. 
It was so fun to see how she has grown over the years and the fun memories.

 More snowflakes! Could that be friends on in the background? 
 More decorations. The photos don't do her room justice. It is quiet amazing!

 The first snow fall of the year. Sammy I am so grateful to you for your spirit and love that you bring to our home. Especially this year. Our family would be lost without your fun and Christmas spirit. You are one of a kind. I love you Charms. Merry Christmas and I hope that all your Holiday Bucket list wishes happen and that your last Christmas as a child is one to remember.
