It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

So I don't know if you remember my post a few weeks back, but I have had a complete change of mind as far as this whole holiday season goes. I don't know if it's the fact that my Christmas decorations are up, or because my sweet hubby has been letting me sleep in on the weekends for no apparent reason other than he's amazing (since he works full time just like I claim to with this whole motherhood thing,) or the fact that I got a much needed haircut after 8 months and just feel a sense of renewal. I've also been listening to a lot of Bowie lately, which always puts me in a good mood-(for a little pick me up or if you're in the mood for a really good tune, listen to "Oh! You Pretty Things." Such a good song.)

I also have been overwhelmed with a sense of wonderful contentment. I am so blessed with an amazing family and only have to think about them or look at these smiles to feel complete.

We had a great Thanksgiving with Andy's family and were able to help put up Christmas lights. Charlie has been on an adrenal high ever since. We went and picked a Christmas tree at the tree farm behind my parents house and even though we have a rash to show for lighting a real tree, I hope that we can continue on this fun tradition of picking a tree out. I love the yearly...debate...that Andy and I have at the tree farm whether we pick the prettiest tree we can find (Andy's want) or the one in most need of having a pick me up, like being decorated with lights and adored every day of the season. (my idea of saving a tree-Andy says to remember we are in fact slowly killing it and that would be no favor at all to pick it.) He won this time, only because he got Charlie on his side and I was outnumbered. How long before the twinners can talk?
