I love this time of year

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day but then shared the stomach virus all weekend long. Thank goodness it was a long weekend. I guess it helped my shopping issues. As I was brave enough to get into Kohl's at the crazy time of 4 am and out by 4:30 and throwing up by 5. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and I waited ALL year for day after Thanksgiving shopping. Boy was I bummed I only got to hit 1 store. Oh well... guess I have next year to look forward to.
I just LOVE this time of year. The house is decorated and the ornaments are hung. Although there are fewer ornaments as each day goes by and Kate discovers how glass makes a fun noise when it shatters. Oh the joy of Christmas decorations and a 2 year old. Who ever thought glass ornaments were a good idea anyway.
The next few weeks we are going to focus on just being still and appreciating our family and friends. We hope to see all our special friends over the coming weeks. We wish you and your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
