This time of year

It is December 1st Lovelies.  Isn't this time of year magical?!  It doesn't matter what you are going through...it just seems that things are brighter around this time of year.  Maybe it is having children to share the season with?, or the possibilities that lay around the corner with the New Year, the forecast of snow, and snow days. Hot cocoa and warm nights sitting by the fire.  It is the little things that make this time of year so special and sweet...and of course one big thing and that is God.  I am so happy and grateful to have my family together.  We will be getting our tree this weekend and I am looking forward to decorating our home.  I am also thinking about our annual Christmas card photo...got some inspiration from pinterest and my sis, now to take the shot, I am late in getting this done but I have been waiting for our son Ethan to get well.  Thanks to all of you who have been praying for him. We are so grateful. The Lord is answering these prayers.  As always...I am missing my loved ones far away. But I hold on to the promise that I will see them again soon. Have a wonderful Thursday all!!!
