Happy, content kids rock. I am so in love with my children. I might not be happy with them from day to day but times like today make me remember why I adore them so.
Yeah, they were spoiled. They usually are, our families don’t tend to look at it the same way we do. We went a little over board this year too, probably. But, they all gave this season to a charity, their own money. They were excited to give our relatives their gifts that we’d worked so hard on. My four year old sat patiently while I opened the bag of gifts she’d picked out for me (from all of them), she got so excited when I seen what it was and I exclaimed how awesome. She proudly informed me she picked it all out herself and that she had a little hammer just like mine! It was a tool set that is covered in garish floral patterns, it’s awesome, really! They still have their stockings for in the morning, Santa always fills those. We baked cookies this evening, they’re on a plate waiting for him to stop by and grab a few. Gotta go empty his milk glass right now while I’m thinking about it.
I am so blessed. Bitchy, moody and discontent a good portion of the time, but blessed. I know every one must feel this way but I really am the luckiest person in the world. We don’t have a lot of money, there is nothing that we do that is great, but we have each other and for that I am so thankful. This Christmas Eve I wish you enough and then some.
Happy Day tomorrow!
This post? Awesome. It made me cry, you really are blessed and you get it, totally.
Thank you, sometimes I really do believe I’m the luckiest girl on the planet!
