Here a just a few random things I've learned/realized/or thought about the last couple days...
#1) Last Friday (the 17th), I realized that what I wanted the most for Christmas was 2 weeks off of school! I have had a great first week off of work and am looking forward to many more fun-filled days ahead.
#2) I love, love, love giving gifts. I don't love, love, love wrapping gifts. It has taken me a really long time to find the motivation to do a mediocre job. Maybe my amazing, cool, smart, funny, wonderful sister will help me with my last three gifts??
#3) I have a Christmas addiction to "Snowball" cookies. 
My Mom makes them every year and she usually has to hide them so I don't eat them all. I stopped by my parents house last night and nobody was home, I found the snowballs and left a note that maybe next time she could find a better hiding space. :) The other day I declared that snowballs were like crack to me, unfortunately I didn't think about the fact that my 4-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew were in the room. Luckily, they didn't ask what that meant! Although, that same afternoon Allie asked, "How do I get high?" She was trying to figure out how to make her stool a little higher. :)
#4) I heard this song on the radio and love the Christmas message...
This Christmas feels kind of different for some reason, in a good way! I'm definitely more aware and in awe of God's love for me and His sovereignty. When you stop and think about what Christmas means and how something so small could come to do something so HUGE it gives an incredible dose of perspective that I definitely needed! It is a very Merry Christmas indeed!

I have found a better hiding place for the most recent triple batch so that the rest of the family will get some too but left some out in plain site for you. Love you, Mom
