Every now and then, there is a moment that makes you thankful for all you have. This Christmas was one of those for me. I am grateful for having such a wonderful husband & daughter, and family.

Christmas was a little different this year. Because Leah had fifths and Crissie is pregnant we weren't able to get together as a big group. Everyone got together with them without us, and then we got together without them. My brother's family usually can't make it up for the holidays because Pete works for UPS, so we are used to missing them, but it just didn't feel like Christmas. We will make sure next year is better.

Leah was excited about Santa (or at least the new toys under the tree Christmas morning) and all the other gifts she received. She is happy to have new things to play with, she was starting to outgrow a lot of what she had.

And... In the spirit of giving, we gave Leah her first fast food cheeseburger today. She loved it.
