Yes, I am counting down the days! We are so excited about Christmas this year. Usually it is my husband and kids who are all filled with excitement, but this year, I have joined in the fun of decorating and singing in the car and watching the calendar as we mark the days till Christmas. We have been very busy lately. So thought I would fill yall in.
Travis and I celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary last month. We did our usual Outback Steakhouse and Christmas shopping. But we had a lot of good, deep conversations. And most of all, we talked about how blessed we are to have each other, I could not ask for a better husband and father of my babies.
Thanksgiving was very pleasant. Everyone got along, no drama. It was an answer to prayer. We even took a really good family picture. My husband and kids are so good to me, by sucking it up and posing over and over for my perfect family picture..lol
My best friends and I went to see New Moon on opening day! AMAZING! It stayed very close with the book, and left us all wanting more! Yes, you can guarantee we will be buying tickets on line in advance come next movie..
My twins started basketball season, and I am proud to say they even made the A team. They have worked so hard and I am thrilled to show them it does pay off. Jazzy girl started basketball too, and I think her games are going to be some great entertainment, the goals are 10ft tall and my short stuff has the hardest time getting the ball near the rim. But she is so motivated to keep trying. I think she gets that from her daddy, cause I would of just said "never freaking mind"! lol
This month, something is trying to sneak in and steal my joy. And I am doing everything I can to fight it. But, I think the source of it all is my baby will be turning 9 years old in a little over a month. (sigh) The days just keep flying by. I do wish Trav was home so he could be part of watching the kids grow up. I am so blessed and so privileged to be able to be there to watch them play every sport, and just to be there with them for everything that they enjoy doing. Cause I know one day, there will not be anymore 7am basketball practices, and 8pm gymnastics lessons to tend to..Oh, what will I do with all that spare time??
Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays and the shopping and just making memories with your families. Cause even when money is tight and not too many gifts under the tree, the memories are priceless.
