It Was a Very Merry Christmas!

The Front Door

We did it! We put up our grapevine, stars, and painted stockings to create this beautiful swag for Christmas at my Mom's house. She put it all together, actually. We had a wonderful Christmas with my sister and her family, and my Mom and Dad. My family also traveled to Georgetown to see my husbands family. All the kids had so much fun! We played, laughed and ate like never before. What a great holiday season. It really was a very, very, merry Christmas. I'm so thankful for our wonderful families who make Christmas day and every day so special. God has blessed us so much. I think I'm just now realizing how fortunate I am. I am ready to share God's goodness with everyone.

Merry, Merry!

It's time to plan, decorate, make lists and check them twice! Yea! Christmas is coming! It is going to be here very soon. December always goes by quickly to me. There never seems to be enough time to get all the fun in, especially if you are like me and like to "do nothing" in order to really enjoy the season. I have figured out there there is a fine line between having lots of fun activities to attend and prepare for and having "downtime" so that I don't feel overwhelmed and "Scroogey." I'm working on finding my balance.

Merry, merry Christmas! It is not here yet, but we have lots of days to make the season special for our friends, family, and yes, ourselves.
