We may be getting ready to enter February, but we just celebrated the holidays a few weeks ago. Carrie Underwood and her family were surrounded by the magic of Christmas–especially since they could enjoy it through the eyes of both her of her sons — Isaiah and Jacob — now that her youngest is beginning to understand.

“I feel like this year was kind of the first year that Jake understood Christmas and all it’s magic,” says Carrie. “He was three around Christmas; he just turned four in January, and it’s just a lot of fun to have two kids that are kind of in the thick of just believing in Christmas magic. We did a lot of traveling with family and we got to spend some time up in Canada and they got to play in the snow, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s fun right now in our world with our boys.”

Carrie is currently making her way up the country charts with her latest single, “Hate My Heart,” and she’s getting ready to launch the next leg of her Denim & Rhinestones Tour on Thursday (February 2nd) in Miami.
