Like coordinating colors for church. It makes me happy!
Like Henry's total and complete attatchment to Love-a-Love...and that he hides under my belly. It makes me happy.
Like the fact that Lily needed a picture too. :) Makes me happy.
It is things like watching your kindergartner enjoy a book,
(every year I question the sanity of emptying out a bookshelf and replacing all the books with Christmas books... I mean, only libraries and school teachers do that right? I am all about simplicity this year, but I did it anyway...)
And this is why. It makes me happy to see the kids sit around reading old favorites, and reading them to each oteher.
That little Fisher Price Nativity we've had for 10 years? It makes me more than happy! It gets a lot of playtime. Perfect.
The fact that 3 years ago I bought 5 pairs of matching plaid Christmas pj's on a killer Kohl's deal. Later that year I found another pair for 90% off that were a "middle" size... 3 years later everybody but Michael (darn that growth spurt ... and 12 year old independence.) has matching pj's. :) Boy have we got our $ out of those!
Henry wakes up every morning and asks if it is 24 yet. This makes me smile. Even really early in the a.m.
And last but not least, these kids, working really hard to clean up leaves, SMILING while doing it, and keeping Henry happy (do you spy him?)
No wonder I am happy!

Being Happy on purpose is a fantastic decision and you do it so well that it makes all the rest of us work at doing the same thing. You do have a beautiful life and family. Can't wait to meet the new little bundle! Merry Christmas! I love you!
I love all of your posts, always. :) I am slowly amassing a Christmas book collection. I really want the one by Tazel (sp?) "The Littlest Angel"
I'd love to have enough to replace a book shelf!
Love it!
I would love to have a whole shelf with Christmas books. Just sounds so much fun and great to be in the Christmas spirit. Hope you had a great Christmas. Now for the new year. Happy new year!!!
Time goes by fast, i know. I am so ready and uncomfortable. You look so good! You look small :) Looks like you are doing good with the GD too :)
Happy new year to you and your beautiful family!

That is AWESOME! (Target book finds) I have found books in the past, but not this year. They are the best finds, in my opinion.
It looks like i may have the baby early or i am in for serious suffering. The last time i had contraction for 2 weeks and then i was 4 cm the day i was induced. LOL Yicks.
I am so ready to be done with the diabetes.
Good luck with your last days. They are soooo hard!
XOXO
