52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 42

Photobucket

The joy of Christmas.

I decided to really experience Christmas

and not be hidden behind a camera taking pictures

but truly living in the moment.


So, you will have to take my word

without the photos to prove that

it was wonderful holiday.


I can tell you that there was

family, moving prayers, splendid food,

hugs, presents being torn open, laughter,
glitter, chocolate, and a few Christmas meltdowns.


Even the meltdowns felt magical.

Here is the wrapping paper carnage
left in my living room.

Doesn't it look like a toy bomb exploded?


It was an amazing Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Leigh! (Belated) :) It looks like y'all had a great one! I love all the wrapping paper carnage left behind--ours looked the same way!

Sending love to you and your family! We've been out of town for awhile (and now we all have colds) so I am just getting back into the old routine.

xoxo!
