Sweet moment brought back my Christmas spirit
I'll never get the world caught up with the last few months of my life so I'm not even going to try. For the most part it has been busy, quick and good with the family (at least the family under my roof). There has also been some blah/bad stuff but rather move on from it all.
This Decemeber has gone by so quickly and unfortunately the majority of the blah/bad (especially in the extended family) has sucked me dry of Christmas spirit. I have good friends - though I haven't seen any of you or even had the opportunity to speak with you - that have sent us good vibes, wonderful life achievement moments and and all around good friendship our way. I am very thankful for each one of you, though I don't tell you or show you often enough.
But it was a moment in the car from picking up the girls last night (they had been isolated from Brad at granma and papaw's for the last few days so they didn't get the flu and so Brad could continue to recover without having to care for them) that truly brought back my Christmas spirit and almost brought me to tears. Anya went to pick up her soda, the lid popped off and all of her soda spilled out. Lexi quickly lifted up her soda and says, "here, here mommy. Pour some of my drink in Anya's cup so she will have some."
No matter what life is going to hand us, I can easily say that I'm not going to get down anymore this Christmas season. I have the best gifts in the world and they continue to give Brad and I as well as each other endless amounts of love.
