Even though I’ve been Chrismtasing since mid-November, what with the 7thJoy Trunk Show and all, I never get tired of the warmth that flows through the house and everywhere this time of year.
This year was no different than many years past. The beautiful routine of family traditions…tree picking and decorating (our frazier fir is still thriving…can’t bear to take it down).
Christmas Eve church with family and the celebration of my beautiful Mom’s birthday.
One gift on Christmas Eve, holiday PJ’s!
Late to bed…then early Christmas morning wake-up
(teenagers can get up early when they want!).
And the best of all, newly created since the birth of grandbugs… breakfast after Santa, at Bebe’s house!!! I love that my son and his little family live just a stone’s throw away, close enough to have time for this before we all retreat to clean up the paper and head to Nonny’s for Christmas Day festivities!

It’s a blurry whirlwind by the time it’s all done, but a wondrous whirlwind none the less!
Again I am reminded of the blessings I hold. A family full! A home to warm, healthy children and family to share it with, and a God who makes it possible….it’s just too much to behold at times!
Thanking God for a blessed 2011 and wishing you all a joyfully abundant 2012!
Stepping into the new year, hoping for new thoughts worth a blog, looking for beautiful inspiration to share, celebrating my awesome graduating senior and the list just goes on and on...You see, there is always something to look forward to!
