Today is the holy feast of the Epiphany. The day when the three wise men finally got to the baby Jesus and presented their gifts. Last night, i told the girls to lay their shoes out for the three wise men to leave small treats in. We used to do this in school when i was a kid and i always loved it! My smart kids brought out their big boots so the kings could leave LOTS of treats!
They awoke this morning to find silly putty, M&M's, hershey kisses and twizzlers! It was like christmas morning in the hallway (which made me realize that santa could probably bring a whole lot less and they'd be just as excited)!
We then said, "good-bye christmas" (with way too many tears from M) and we packed everything up! It feels so great to have my house back! I adore christmas and i think my house looks way nicer fully decorated, but i definitely am done by the time the epiphany rolls around. So thank you, wise men, and good-bye christmas! Now to look forward to pulling out the pink and hearts for valentine's day- yet another of my favorite holidays!!!
