Christmas Favs

Full Speed Ahead!  That seemed to be our motto through the holidays.  Looking back, even though we were super busy, there were many wonderful memories made.  I don't know that I can do it all justice other than to highlight a few of my favorite moments.

Favorite Snap-Shot Moments I'll Never Forget

1. Watching LB check out what Santa left.  I think kids must be born with the joy of Christmas morning in their bones.  
2. Laughing for hours as the older cousins played with my nephew Henry - building tents, forts and having pillow fights in my parents den as all the adults sat around and watched.

Favorite Gifts I Gave

1. A journal to my hubby so we can record 2011 together.
2. Door hanger initials to my mom and mother-in-law decorated in Auburn polka dots.  Purchased from Artist Tree here in Dothan.

Favorite Gifts I Received

1. Cookware - lots of fun stuff
2. Thyme in a Bottle by Ingrid Croce

Favorite Holiday House Guests

1. Cousins Sidney and Madeline

Not-so-Favorite Moments

1. Putting together my first toy - a kitchen.  It took 2 solid hours.  It was all I could to finish it.  And in the end I had to call in my reserves - my hubby saved the day!
2. Playing 4 Dirty Santa games in a matter of 5 days.  One is fun.  And even two can be enjoyable.  But by the fourth game I had heard all the sayings in the book.  And believe me, everyone says the same things at every party.

I hope you and your loved ones had a very Merry Christmas, making memories to last a lifetime.
