This December has been one the busiest and craziest months of my life. There were days I wondered if it were even possible to get everything done, but somehow I did. And I managed to enjoy myself along the way too! Success! I can't believe 2014 here. I'm excited to see what is in our future.
Here are my Ten Things to Smile About in December, in no particular order:
1. Watching my sweet girl dance in her recital
2. Watching my children giggle while they played in the snow. And speaking of snow, shoveling snow made me smile too. Seriously. I love it! One particular day, the snow was SO sparkly I could hardly contain my joy. The flakes were huge and you could see the shapes of each individual snowflake. It was the best!
3. Singing in my Christmas concert. LOVE!!!
4. Having a 15 month old around during Christmas! I loved watching his joy over all the decorations. He's been saying "bye bye" too them today as I've been taking them down...
5. Watching my Coopey sleep
6. Making candy houses:
7. Watching my kids swim and seeing their improvements
8. Ethan turning 8!!!
9. Celebrating Christmas with my family and all the extended family. And going to party after party and loving every minute!!!
10. Reading Luke 2, acting out The Christmas Story, thinking on Christ, listening to The Messiah LOUD, hearing the violin play at church, and feeling the true Spirit of Christmas!

You did have a busy month. I love that you get so much joy from snow! Makes me actually miss it.
We are taking down our things tomorrow and I am dreading it, hate taking them down.
Madeline is the cutest ballerina.
Not only things that make you smile, but things that create in you...JOY! I've had similar encounters with snow. I love it when it comes down like that and then later sparkles in the sun. Your pictures were the best! December will always be that busy I suspect, but WOW! feeling that Spirit makes life wonderful.
