Favorite Holiday

Christmas is truly wonderful,
and I do love it,
and relish in its month-long celebrations.
 
Thanksgiving is my favorite though.
It's all the family time and cozy goodness of Christmas,
but without the stress of presents.
Or shopping.
It's an un-diluted family holiday.
Plus, there's pie.
(maple pear is the best!)

And seriously, I love these guys.
...and all their quirkiness.
...especially Emma's.
 
 
Although, this last Thanksgiving week with these dudes
did leave me with just one question;
 
How in the world are Sophie and I NOT married yet??
-sister sleepovers are unparalleled-
 
 
Well, for Soph at least,
she's got to go serve a mission first...
in Colorado Springs, Colorado!!
On January 16th!
I'm so proud of and sooo excited for her!
And grateful for her example and choice
to dedicate 18 months of her life
to go preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I'm grateful for my wonderful family,
and for the stellar examples they all are to me.

 
Also grateful for:
black Friday deals which make replacing my fried laptop
significantly less of a financial burden,
and also my Barbara Streisand Christmas CD.
