Yes, I realize that I have been MIA for a really, really loooooong time. Over the past year I have written several post in my head, they just never made it to the computer (a few even made it in my drafts-but never got published). I am writing this one assuming that there is still someone out there that will read & be happy that I am blogging again. Or maybe just for myself to get my feelings out there-to take some of the blah away.
It’s a NEW year! And most of the time for me a new year means a NEW beginning, I feel refreshed & when Christmas is over I can not wait for the new year to begin. This year, not so much! I don’t feel refreshed. I am not excited about what this year is going to bring. (hopefully this is a short lived phase) I really want to be in that blissful state of the unknown, planning for what’s to come, excited about the NEW year & NEW adventures! Can you help me get there? How are you feeling about the NEW year?
This Christmas Season my life seemed foggy-like I was in a constant HAZE! We had a few really GREAT memories 🙂 But for the most part it was rush-rush-rush, be here, be there, always something to do. The Christmas Spirit was lost! 😦 These feelings have finally caught up with me-I feel extremely BLUE & robbed. I would like a DO-OVER! Is that even possible?! Do I have to wait until next year? I would love to go back in time to the end of November, actually Thanksgiving Day to be exact-to see if my Christmas season could be different. I want to relive Christmas!
On a lighter note: Here are my favorite moments from Thanksgiving – today:
Thanksgiving Day: We ate 2 meals, we traveled to the lake & had lunch with Tommy’s family. The kids all went on a 2 mile nature hunt with Tommy. I really wish I would have gone with them, they all had so much FUN!
{Annabelle, Peyton & Eli}
Then we had dinner with my family in Augusta & then we drove home.
{Camilla & Annabelle}
Elroy came back & this year each day he brought a bible verse with him.
We saw the movie Frozen 2 times & can not get enough-we watch the clips daily on youtube. “Do you want to build a snowman?” is my favorite!
We had Breakfast with Santa at our church. I am the event coordinator & guess who was Santa?! Annabelle’s very own HoHo (my dad). I am so glad he was able to come down & be our Santa. It meant a lot to me.
To see more on Breakfast with Santa, click here. She has more pictures than me. Here is one of the moms having fun too!
I just love Amanda’s deer in the head lights look! She played the part great!
My grandparents came for a weekend visit & to watch Annabelle 1 evening so that Tommy & I could go with our BIG KIDs to the Journey. We had a great time at the Journey & an even better one with my Grandparents! I love them so & hope that when I am 79 & 80 that I am still able to be on the go like they are. They are super special people-everyone you would ask will say so!
In the new year, I think we should use our tripod a little more. We have hardly any pictures of the 3 of us.
Annabelle & GiGi had fun one afternoon ringing the bell outside of Sam’s for a few minutes.
We also had a cookie decorating party/Christmas party with the “Nursery Club” (I will elaborate what the nursery club is at a later date) here I am typing like yall all know what is going on with us. Some of you do some of you dont. Check out the fun we had here.
Check out Annabelle’s funny Irish jig while caroling. It cracks me up everytime!
Just looking thru & sharing my favorite Christmas memories made my day a little brighter! Maybe a picture dump of our last year will be in the works. We are extremely blessed but sometimes sharing your not so great-BLUE moments helps. Praying that you have a blessed & happy NEW year!
