Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

.Just wanted to take a quick moment to wish all of our loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Abby has been talking about Santa- she knows what he looks like- but not about his awesome gift-giving power.  ;)  It should be a fun holiday season- Abby is such a little character and has already had some experience with unwrapping gifts (we let her open one early when she was sick with the stomach bug last weekend) and she also offered to help her teacher Miss Katie open the gift that we had given to her (in fact, she also offered to keep the gift).  ;)

I am planning on taking a break from everything- working, the internet, email, the computer, wearing clothes instead of pajamas during the day, commuting, brushing my teeth and hair (ok, ok, I'm getting a bit out of control now) the main gist is- I'm planning on enjoying my family and winding down, moving slowly, waking late, giggling, and loving my dear husband and sweet daughter.  It's been a hectic haul as of late and we are oh so thankful for this time off together- both with our extended family- and with our little perfect family.  :)

Merry Christmas to all- we hope your holidays are bright and cheerful and full of joy and little miracles.

...and Happy New Year to all!  Here's hoping 2013 is the best one yet.

We love each and every one of you and will see you all in the New Year (either virtually or in living color) :)
