Christmas 2015

Christmas was wonderful as usual.  I was up early doing some cooking and then just enjoying the quiet time until my precious babies came over.  Christmas is my happy time.  I feel that people are just happier and more kind at Christmas.  I love this time of year.  We had a wonderful meal and then enjoyed opening presents.

Princess Leah turns preteen 12, help us all!

Leah and I went shopping at South County Mall, I think we went into every store.  She found everything she wanted at about 6-8 stores.  She is a shrewd shopper and with my help with coupons, we really stretched the dollar.  Leah is so much fun and even though she is a preteen, as we were walking thru the mall, Leah would still reach for my hand and hold my hand as we walked thru the mall.  She doesn't even know that was the highlight of my day.  It brought back the memories of me taking them to preschool and them holding my hand tight when we walked into school.  How did those precious days go by so quickly?  After our shopping we went to Leah's favorite restaurant, Chinese buffet in Arnold.  Leah was in her glory.  I cherish these shopping trips.
