These are a few of my favorite things...



Merry Christmas!

I am the luckiest aunt ever, because I have the cutest nieces and nephew ever! :) I finally got a decent picture with the three of them (this is the first -and only- try!) today on Christmas eve. We all celebrated with the triplets coming over and opening all kinds of presents and had a blast!! We all made out like bandits ;)

You know, (this is an afterthought to my original post) I couldn't love these three kids more if they were my own blood relatives. They're not-- their dad michael is my stepbrother from Jessey's first marriage-- but they are such a blessing. They are so full of life and of joyfulness and energy and fun that I don't know what any of us would do without them. All three of them. I miss my dad, but God has given me an abundance of Family, no doubt. I have a wonderful, caring stepdad, and michael and Jen are pretty great people, too. And they're willing to share their kids with my mom and I, which is far better than any Christmas present. The Lord gives and He takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord. He knows what He's doing.

Hope that you all have a wonderful and restful couple of days and make the most of spending time with your family and friends. After all, this is the season of remembering-- and celebrating when Love came to earth :)
