I think that is the perfect sentiments said just the right way

Aw. Ty. That might have been a wise choice on your part. I’m used to making massive amounts of cookies with lots of people around sooooooo you don’t notice how much work it is. Well until it’s just you and a tiny human that just really wants to eat the cookies rather than make them after the first batch. I managed to…

I think so too. We go out sooo little and I have been appalled at the crowds I’ve seen at places as we drive by. 

Love the bathroom and wish you safe travels. I am sure you have a lot on your mind but those hugs from tiny humans do have a way of making things a wee bit better 

Its just the cutest !!! 

We expected to wake up to a yard full of downed trees and no power. Luckily neither of which happened but it definitely made us toss & turn. I saw 66 MPH by me and I believe it. 

Yes the line is always very specific. Tiny human has to put all her favorites to bed with her and they all have their own spots. 

That does sound lovely despite it all. I’m glad to hear that. And we are Ukrainian too !!! We usually get together Christmas Eve and than Jan 6th soooo that date will be a little sad.

Just the 3 of us this year. Cookies were baked this Eve despite canceling the annual cookie bake we’ve had for as long as anyone can remember. I may have gone a bit overboard by baking 4 kinds of cookies. Oatmeal, Spritz, Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter. We packaged them up to drop off to family/friends tho. We also…

Quite true but I thought the same. 

I had a white one !!! It was gifted to me by my mother many years ago and made by Lenox. Sadly it got broken in our last move. 

TY. I will most definitely look into this!!! It is amazing how much glue one can go through. As well as other crafty things. Pre Covid I always would look for clearance item stuff to just add to my craft collection. But legit when I knew we were going into lockdown, I went to the craft store/s and stocked us way up.…

I think it will be that way for many of us. Honestly go for new traditions. And TexMex sounds divine. Also who cares how the presents look. It’s the thought behind the present inside that counts ! 

After posting on SNS, I decided to tackle wrapping all the tiny human’s non Santa presents. I still have to do my husband’s, parents & brother BUT as long as hers are done I’m ahead. 

Beautiful. Love the photos

Ooooo that must have been good ! I’ve seen her a few times but singing with Phil Lesh & friends 

Happiest Holidays to you as well. Joy for a partner who is a prepper. Sounds like you are all stocked up on the important stuff. Beautiful photos btw. Love seeing it all. My BIL before he passed away took a trip to Panama and raved about it. So I’ve always wanted to go myself. And that pup is just the cutest. Hang in…

I think that sounds lovely. The holidays are so very special in so many ways. My husband and I are the youngest adults in our family too. Plus we have been together 20+ years. Only 3 of those have been with the tiny human soooo I totally get that. Also your husband sounds the sweetest. Have you ever considered looking…

I guess I’ve offended you with my pollyana ness ... and Yes I am living the dream of finally having a child after struggling many years. I try to post positive things if possible despite the fact just like everyone else I do have things to complain about. 

Wow. Honestly she sounds exhausting.
