Holiday appetizers and desserts have been prepped. Presents have been wrapped. Children have been bathed and dressed. I am currently enjoying the blissful quiet before the chaos of the holiday ensues. With one Christmas party already in the rearview mirror and church tonight, I am reflecting on all of the wonders of our year so far and all that we have to be grateful for. This year flew by, and I guess that is what happens when I have two littles to keep me on my toes. I am sure I have them to thank for my steady diet of Christmas cookies, ice cream, and chocolate lately. We have started some of our own Christmas traditions in the last three years such as cookie decorating and seeing all of the Christmas lights. We are beyond blessed that my grandma, my children's great-grandma was able to help us decorate cookies just as she did when I was a kid. We are lucky to be surrounded by family who is always willing to lend a hand. My children are lucky to grow up with grandparents who are even willing to brave the pediatrician's office in the height of flu season for us. We welcomed a new baby this year, and my son has become the kindest big brother. I know they will have a tight friendship for years to come. My little girl loves her big brother more than she loves her peanut butter toast! He is her personal entertainment. I cannot wait to see what the future has to hold for the two of them. Tonight we have church, Christmas movies, and my son's favorite meatballs for dinner! Oh and of course matching jammies for the littles are on the agenda! What can I say? It's the little things in life, right? Here's to new traditions, family time, and a happy holiday! Merry Christmas!
