• There is no smile like the smile we capture in our annual holiday jammies before present opening.
• I love my tree this year.
• It snowed today! Sure it was wet and didn’t stick, but it was still beautiful and we walked in it!
• Last night we opened the Karaoke machine and sang Christmas Carols.
• Everyone loved their gifts. The highlights were Noah got a digital camera, wii video games and a scooter . Dinara got a keyboard, inline skates and a horse stable . Emma got a Red nano, ds games and knitting stuff.
• John scored on my gifts this year. I got a ring, a beautiful cashmere sweater and a killer fossil watch.
• I got John a camera lens he wanted and a digital picture frame.
• Dinner was prime rib and it was excellent!
• I am highly aware that this is a perfect example of a holiday that I will look back on when I am old and gray and long for it.
• My children have been delightful this year. Everyone was grateful and appreciative. Everyone was just as interested in giving as they were in getting. Everyone showed genuine joy at the gifts others received.

I feel very blessed. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
