My favorite time of year...
My major life-events are crammed into the months of November, December and January. This time of year is like an overwhelming fountain of festivities: my wedding anniversary, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and my birthday. And, I'm not gonna lie, some of my favorite memories from this time of year are the presents I've received throughout the years. Some highlights (in no particular order):
- A Dorothy Gale doll with a porcelain face from Santa
- A hot pink 10-speed bike from Mom and Dad
- A 2-story Barbie dollhouse (that I had to share with my sisters, but still)
- An Este Lauder gift set from my hubby
- A beautiful camel-color, cashmere, calf-length coat from MamMaw and PapPaw
- A surprise birthday party with my family at O'Charley's for my first birthday in NC
Though the experiences have varied over the years and occasions, I remember many of the times spent with family and friends. I know it sounds cheesy, but as I approach the first day of my 30th year, I wonder what the next 30 will be like (yes, I know that's a country song, but still...) How cool to have lived this long so far, and I hope the journey is just as exciting in the future!

We have had some pretty fun times together in these few months, year after year. I'm glad you have good memories, I do too. Mom

Wow, it's amazing that it is already getting to be that time of year again! I'm so excited about this Thanksgiving and Christmas, now that we have a new little addition to our family. I think you will be amazed every year to find yourself thinking less and less about what you want for Christmas and more and more about what will make your kids' eyes light up when they come through the hall door and see the tree. Love, Mom/Grammie
