Hope the coming year is bright and full of good things for you and yours!

It's Christmas morning, and I've been up most of the night. Clarke had a great great Christmas morning (it was such a blast to see him come out and light up at the gifts under the tree!) and I am exhausted. The day is far from over as I have to go out to a lake condo for my mother's side of the family. My grandparents are up from Florida ( Read more... )

I decided that I wanted to do up at least Christmas super splendid for Clarke, even though my heart is breaking and I break into tears doing nothing but scrubbing the cabinets.
