Not a Fan of Santa!

Christmas has come and gone...

Well, it has been awhile since I've posted anything, so I thought I would try and catch up. I get on this thing all the time and read up on everyone else and every time I think, "I should update.." and then i don't. So here we go.

We were here in Houston for Thanksgiving this year...only the second time in my life to not be with my mom and dad but we had a good time at Don's (family friend) playing Croquet and sweating since it was so darn hot outside!

Christmas was great as always. Brady was very very scared of Santa this year ( was last year too, but even more so this year because he could verbalize his fear and he did...often!) But, being the good mom that I am I still made him sit on the scary man's lap (hey, my mom did it to me!) We were in Abilene for Christmas and Brady had so much fun this year opening presents...not just his, but everyones! And he gets so excited about everything! "Socks mommy!" "Wiggles, I got Wiggles! I got Wiggles! repeated about 15 times.

Watching my child and the joy he exerts reminds me every day and especially in this season to look for God in all things (even socks!) Everything should amaze me as it does Brady. I'm so, so blessed to have the family I have, the struggles we have, and the joys we experience every day. So as I enter another year and reflect on the last one...my prayer is to live in the moment...every moment I'm alive and to see more of this world through the eyes of my little boy so I can get just as excited about life as Brady gets about the Wiggles!

Happy New Year everyone! I love you all!
