Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! (Pass the chicken soup, please.)

Yep, we've had lots of good times over the Christmas season. Cookies were baked and eaten - especially eaten - gifts were exchanged, family was visited and the hours were sometimes late. Not surprisingly, after all this carousing we now have colds. ALL of us. So we're back snuggled in at home with the Vicks-VapoRub and homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. Life could be worse.

Here's some things I'm thankful for at the moment:

-Kiddos are still sleeping fairly well. Makes a big difference.

-A well stocked pantry. I've been able to put off that big grocery run for several days now til it's not so cold and we're feeling better.

-New Christmas toys to play with and new books to read. :-)

-A Special Someone who brought me Dark Chocolate M&Ms. What a guy!
