Merry Christmas, friends! I hoping you are all enjoying a wonderful holiday full of love and laughter.

Ours has been a lot of fun … we decorated a gingerbread house, made cookies for Santa and this year Christmas Eve was extra special because the girls were baptized.

Today was a low-key day with family. We enjoyed a very nice lunch that included a 5-pound beef tenderloin (it rocked and totally kicked the crap out of having turkey).The girls got everything they wanted and yet still found time to fight over a few things. Despite that small setback, they were truly in the spirit of the season this year, and I am very proud of what giving, thoughtful little girls they are. Even Winston and Frankie had holiday cheer today.

Tomorrow we are back to reality … Anabella will be having her tonsils removed, so keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Her mommy would appreciate it.
