We have officially entered my absolute favorite time of year. I love Halloween. I count down the days to Halloween. The day of Halloween I'm absolutely giddy because.... the next day begins the holiday season.
Ahh yes, I can year the dissenters right now yelling at the computer, "BUT what about Thanksgiving!"
Sorry folks but I firmly believe that Thanksgiving is part of the holiday season. It is the day to say thank you, a day to relax, and a day to spend with family before the mountain of Holiday fa la la's begin.
I love Thanksgiving a whole day dedicated to eating. It is a chubby girls favorite day. :) However, it does not hold the power to keep me from Christmas dreaming.
With three teenagers in the house I am constantly reminded that the days of my whole family being together on Christmas are coming to an end. Soon Brent and I will have to share our children with other parents.
Which is just one reason that I plan to suck up all the holiday cheer I can over the next few years.
Including brow beating my family into a family photo. I dug back into the photo file and came up with our last all together family photo.
Notice how small everyone is. I'm not even going to lie looking at this picture makes me want to cry. My little guy in this picture was about 4. Now he is almost 10.
I won't ask the question but you know I'm thinking it, "Where in the heck does time go?"
Our pictures are next Saturday and I may be more excited about this than almost anything else in a long time. It is the little things. It will be awhile before I post any pictures because with the holidays so close they are going to be Christmas presents for the grandparents.
I'm totally committed to making this an annual tradition. Somehow I have to capture time. Meanwhile, if you are looking for me I have added fa la la'ing to my very full plate.
Happy Sunday Friends,
