helper.

every christmas morning, the first thing spenser always asks me is, “do you think santa came?!”

to which I always snarkily reply “no!”

growing up jewish, I never celebrated christmas- but over the years, we’ve been slowly figuring out our own ways to celebrate this time of year. I love the traditions we’ve started, and I hope to share more about that later! I absolutely look forward to christmas morning in our home. it is so uniquely us.

but this morning, it was still our annual sketch routine.

spenser got up to change finn’s diaper, I went to the bathroom.

from outside the bathroom door, spenser yells, “do you think santa came?!”
“no!” I reply, as I always do.

“oh yeah?!”, spenser says, as I open the bathroom door, and he lifts up finn from his lap.

“we KNOW santa showed up!
he left behind one of his helpers!”

my cheeks hurt from laughing. my heart is full.

merry christmas, to those who celebrate today!
