December's Ten Things

There were way more than ten things to smile about this past December.  It was one of the best!  But here are ten of my favorite things I smiled about:

1.  Cooper was blessed by Todd at church:

2.  I sang in Christmas concerts and fell in love with the Alfred Burt Carols
 
3.  Ethan had his birthday!  And requested a Christmas birthday, which really made me chuckle and it just turned out to be a really great day.

 

4.  My little guy turned three months old.  And now he smiles constantly and is ticklish and loves chewing on his fists and whacks toys and is just plain fun.

 5.  I made massive amounts of Christmas treats and enjoyed eating them.  a lot.

6.  Madeline performed in her first dance recital.  It was so darling.

7.  We also enjoyed watching Miss Madeline sing in her Preschool Program.  She knew all the songs and poems and actions so well.

8.  Todd's family was all together.  His siblings were all in the same spot for the first time in years.  It was so much fun.  So wonderful.  I loved being a part of the big group!

 and we had another family pic taken too.

 9.  Christmas Eve was splendid.  And fabulous!  And it snowed, which makes it even better!

10.  Christmas.  Of course Christmas made me smile.  Every.  Thing.  About it!
