Merry Christmas!

As I sit and type this morning, Mel and McCanless are snuggled in my bed and Mary Clare is probably still sleeping with my mother.  (She chose to spend the night with her Nonnie last night.)  After a couple of days filled with family, laughing and Wii, it’s nice to have some peace and quiet.  It is actually snowing outside and looks so beautiful.  There are still gifts on the floor and Rapunzel hair all over the house, but today is filled with calmness.  A stark difference from yesterday’s fun, crazy chaos.

What a beautiful life we have.

And as quickly as my moment of peace and quiet began, I hear McCanless’ feet hit the floor.  She just came running into the den to announce to me that there is snow outside!  She then asked me why her arm and belly were “hurting a little” here and there.  I explained how that kind of hurt is a good thing….soreness, courtesy of the new Wii.)  Merry Christmas!
