*****
Santa has come and gone.
Gifts have been wrapped and unwrapped.
Elliott has been face timing me all afternoon on her new iPod Touch.
Holden has mastered his Batman Lego Wii game.
Turkey is out of the brine and on the Weber.
Side dishes are prepped and ready to go in the oven.
Paula Deen’s old fashioned sweet potato pie is cooling on the counter.
It’s sunny and 70* here today ~ the kids both dressed themselves in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.
Another typical, yet oh so special, Christmas Day.
I am already {sad} that the season is coming to a close…looking forward to 2012, though, and all that it has to offer.
Twelve months to mold into whatever we want them to be.
There will be busy days and lazy days, laughter and tears, ups and downs, meeting new friends and spending time with the {old} ones, trying to remember to live each day to the fullest and with conviction & purpose.
THANK YOU to all who come here daily, weekly or monthly and flop around with me. I truly appreciate each and every one of you!
The merriest of Christmases to you and yours.
XO

Hey mama! Thank you so much for the sweet words re: the blog. That is exactly what I want it to be ~ a happy place! 😉 I am so glad that you are enjoying it. I LOVE seeing all your daily/weekly happenings with your little one. Those cheeks of hers are too adorable!

Take care and let’s chat soon to plan a get together! XO
