a few of my favorite things!

It's been a tough few weeks to say the least!  ...so, I figured I need to make a list of some things I am grateful for, happy about and feel blessed by!  (in no particular order, either!  :))

• my God and my faith...
• our tradition of seeing the nutcracker again this year...it seemed particuarly great today!
• hot cocoa afterwards with friends where we watched our daughters dance like little sugar plum fairies all through starbucks!
• a roaring fire, sitting by the light of my beautifully "perfect" Christmas Tree
• the amazing smell of my aspen candle
• the homeade wrapping paper that my kids created
• the elf on the shelf who continues to surprise and delight us each day!
• that at 38 my mommy is still my mommy...even if she too confused to know right now!
• snowflakes today...finally feels "Christmas-y"
• my friends...simply put - they are ANGELS in my life!
• Caramel Brulee Lattes from Starbucks - yum!
• my comfy, cozy bed...
• the sheer delight of seeing christmas thru my babies' eyes!
• my church
• that my sweet bryan is on vacation for the nest two weeks...can't wait to be together!
• brunch with santa (tomorrow)

I think thats it for now!
