We had to do "boy/girl" photos this year as we have been battling strep throat (me), flu, and terrible colds. I do believe we will all be better by the 25th. I'm also convinced the boys had an added incentive - they didn't want to get dressed up. It was all I could do to keep them from wearing baseball hats!
But, the silver lining for me in having to be bedridden is I am almost caught up on DR. WHO!! I am on target to finishing the 6th season in time to watch the Christmas Special! Are there any other BBCA fans out there?... I SO love this show. It takes about half way through the first season to become addicted... but believe me, you DO!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Season's Greetings... to all my blog friends. Truly, you inspire me and I have learned and enjoyed so much by "meeting" all of you. This world of blogging it truly amazing, don't you agree? If my friends and family had to put up with my attempts at almost daily poetry, I would have long ago been locked in my room. Thank you for saving me from that fate ;)
I wish we all could be sitting around a fire, enjoying my daughter's gourmet cookies (not mine, I don't bake desserts) and a cup of hot chocolate (or spiced wine).
From my family to yours, I truly wish each and every one Peace, Hope, and Joy for the upcoming New Year 2013!
