Happy New Year

The holidays came fast and in the blink of an eye, it was all over. Time goes so fast when you have family and friends around. I always hate for it to be over. I want it to last and last and last. I don't want everyone to leave and go back home. I know it will be weeks, or months before I see everyone again. Those babies grow so fast, I need to see them often. There is just nothing like grandkids, to make the world seem so right!
It was a great Christmas!! All made it to my house safely, which is what I always pray for. The roads can be slippery and foggy, so it is always a releif when I know all are where they are suppose to be. When Jill's family arrived, we went and got a Christmas tree. It was cold out and windy, but we picked just the right tree after deciding between many.
Then the kids helped decorate it with their ornaments from years past, and the new one for this year.
Jeff and his family arrived the next day. We got to meet his kids, Wesley, Brooklyn and Jack. Isabella and Jack enjoyed playing with them and all got along great! I don't think there was even a squabble. We made Christmas cookies and frosted them, that was quite a site! Then it was off to bed, because the arrival of Santa was just hours away! Christmas morning got off to an early start, with all the little people very excited about what was waiting under the tree!
There were presents aplenty, and food for all to enjoy! It was a wonderful day that I would have like to frozen in time. We would still be on that day, if I had my way! The days went by fast, and it all came to an end, and now we have all the great pictures and memories to treasure for years to come. The new year is here, and this month is going by fast, and before we all know it, it will be the holidays again. But for right now, I think I will just enjoy the thoughts of all the fun times I've had in this last year past.
This year ahead will be lots of fun, there will be many surprises, I'm sure there'll be at least one!
Off to bed I must go, it is very late, morning will be here soon, so sweet dreams await.
