 Cheaper Than Therapy

Christmas is such a magical time….especially when you are blessed enough to see it through the eyes of children.  We had a beautiful visit with Santa this past weekend….and the kids just couldn’t get enough.
He was jolly, chatty and all-together one of the best we’ve seen.  They were mesmerized. 

I wish I could hop into their little brains to see just what they are thinking….”Will he bring me The Littlest Pet Shop?”, “Where are his reindeer?”, “How does he fit down our chimney?”, “Did he like the cookies we left him last year?”, “That is one crazy, white beard.”, “This sleigh is pretty cool.”, “I don’t think I want him to hug me.” :)

Thousand Word Thursday – Way Back When

Because I have recently reconnected with so many high school friends (yes, I might have a slight addiction to Facebook) I felt compelled to share this picture.

This was our Senior Prom.  It may be hard, but DO NOT be jealous of my turqoise dress…or my friend Shellee’s ruffled sleeves.

We looked hot that night…(if looking 14 can be considered hot) and that is all that matters. (until, of course, my husband sees these pictures and can’t stop laughing)

What?  I don’t understand…what is unfashionable about our attire.  I know you can’t see my gloves, but, never fear….I have them on.

Stop laughing.  You know you wore gloves too.

Cheaper Than Therapy

Can’t you just feel the joy?  This is my mom.  One of my favorite things about her is her ability to experience life with the pure exuberance of a child.  She actually tackled me into this leaf pile and then had a leaf-tossing contest with my children.  I don’t think she had played like this in years….and she loved every single second of it!  I did too.
