Merry Christmas 2009!

Well, it's here! After all the planning, the preparations, the buying, the wrapping, the baking and the sending...Christmas is here! While it's just Christmas Eve yet, it's the day that our official holiday celebrating begins! Another year, time has gone so fast! I was just thinking to myself this morning as I sat at Starbuck's with my girl, enjoying a few minutes of time together while we had our drinks, that wasn't it just yesterday my girl was celebrating her first Christmas??? Can it be that 16 of them have come into her lifetime? I fear that I will blink my eyes tonight and next thing I know, she will be celebrating a "first Christmas" with a wee one of her own!

So, as I am misty eyed over all the years gone by, all the time passed, I am also grateful for all the many years I've had to share this special holiday with the greatest blessing God ever bestowed upon me! I wish all of my friends and family a very Blessed Christmas. May your day be filled with nothing but joy!

I leave you with my girl....yep, taken this morning at Starbucks! I have this thing about taking her picture each time we are there...seriously, my iPhone is loaded with pics of her smiling face!

Merry Christmas!!!!!
