I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!  We had a great Christmas and have so enjoyed some family time with a lot of our extended family!

Today, is the first day we haven’t had anything on the calendar, and it’s amazing too (just in a different way).  I keep looking at my kids and thinking how much fun this is.  We are enjoying down time and just being together.  This morning we played Go Fish, Candy Land, and had a Nerf gun war, after eating heart-shaped pancakes.  Family down time is incredible for our souls!

I look at these three gorgeous kids, and I can’t believe that I get to be their mom.  What a gift and true blessing!

I hope in the midst of seeing family and doing different traditions you are able to pause, breath, and truly appreciate all that you have!  My posts might be a little more sporadic compared to my normal schedule until the beginning of the year.  I’m enjoying my family and getting some rest before all the AMAZING things coming in 2013.

 

 

 

 

**Thank you so much Someplace Wild for the incredible pics of my kids!!  The best gift ever is treasuring and capturing this stage of life!  It is going too fast.**
