Happy Christmas!

I've always liked the way that sounds. Sometimes, rushed with party pressures, gift buying and goodie baking......I can forget to focus on the Happiness of the season. (Mark has always been good about reminding me that a lot of my pressures are self-inflicited.........in the heat-of-the-moment, I might not always appreciated the reminder......but he has a point) Creating a blissful holiday season should be about enjoying the moments along the way. I really tried to do that this year. I also had to learn I can let go of ideas and plans.....and it would be okay (actually a HUGE relief).
Our Christmas season was pretty low-key this year..........and I liked it.
(I didn't like the weeks of flu and tummy bugs that kept us down, but it kept us close to home and family focused)

WOW! We need a new family picture! As I looked through my latest folders, I realized it's been almost two years. We were ruined by Katie. She did such an amazing job, I can't find a follow up. This is the best we have this month......

I guess it's time to break out the ol' tripod and head to the park.
