'Tis the Season!

'Tis the season... I cannot begin to explain the "beautiful chaos" that goes on in my household during Christmas. It is non-stop, loud, crazy, and absolutely incredible. I must say that we definitely represent the phrase "beautiful chaos." There is just something about seeing the kids' faces as they open their gifts. It is breath-taking to see their excitement. My mother pulls out some of the same decorations we had as children, and it always brings back memories. She reads the same books to the grandchildren now that she read to us so many years ago... always makes me smile. I cannot thank God enough for sending His only son to be born in a manger in the little town of Bethlehem all those years ago. And here we are today still celebrating His birth and His presence here on Earth. Oh, how thankful we are!!

NYE 2012!

Happy New Year 2012! Steven & I spent the week after Christmas at the beach with his Dad and stepmom. We had such a wonderful time, and it was a much-needed relaxed time in the sand. We had dinner on New Year's Eve then watched fireworks (in the fog) from the condo. The weather was beautiful until the fog rolled in on New Year's Eve night, but nothing (not even fog) could ruin a wonderful time at the beach. So glad and so thankful I got to bring in the new year with an amazing man! I love you Steven Kline!





Happy New Year! 2012!
