something has to happen differently next year so i can enjoy the month of december more. its seems like its been one busy day after another, making one busy week after another. its going too fast and i want to slow down and enjoy it more. i think i might be going crazy. between pregnancy hormones, stress and reminiscing it's been a rough few weeks for this mom. for some reason this has been the hardest holiday season since the crash and it's taken quite a toll on me. its sad to say, but i am looking forward to the holidays being over, being back at home, just enjoying our little family, and having life calm down a little bit. but then life never really calms down, does it? :)
on today's"Christmas To Do List - With The Girls":
make the best butter cream frosting ever (link here) and decorate sugar cookies
redecorate our tree because it tipped over again
dance to the little people Christmas cd while the girls wear their tutu's
watch santa paws one more time before returning it
and wrap presents for dad
here's to enjoying the next 4 days and making the most of them, despite the craziness!
**despite the stress and sadness and everything, i really am grateful for this time of year and have had many experiences the last few weeks where i have acutely felt the Savior's love for me and had prayers answered. i'm grateful for the chances i've had to serve people around me and be part of activities that have promoted and shared the Christmas spirit that is so special about this time of year. and last, i am grateful for all the extra reminders and opportunities to reflect on the Savior - His birth and life and all He has done for us. there is a lot to be happy about and celebrate. even if i'm feeling kind of grumpy. :)
