Okay, closing the book on the holidays; fraught with emotion as they were. But as I have learned, the joy is in the moments. So to list just a few of my favorites:
1. Being able to read my family's and friends' blogs to see all of the cute Christmas pictures and laughing at the image of Clint putting another log on the fire. Makes me chuckle every time I think of it.
2. Having a best friend who will listen to me no matter how screwy I get. Not to mention my daughters who continually worry about me making it through the holidays in one piece.
3. Skyping with the MadKin and seeing Maddie's eyes so wide and filled with wonder as she told me about Santa eating the cookies. They are both so sweet!
4. A special New Years moment with Emily and Sean and being able to tell them how very much they mean to me.
5. Pete asking for "more" to finish his cookies and milk party in the cardboard playhouse with Emily by saying, "Mmm, mmm, mmm" and smacking his lips.
6. Clayton making everyone laugh as we sat around the table, as he does so well.
7. A wonderful sister visit with the one who lives 15 minutes away.
So very much for which to be thankful. I know I missed recording other minutes here in the blog, but they are forever recorded in my heart. And here's to 2011.

One of my favorites was every time we sat across from each other over food and conversed. More please.
I'm glad you had some wonderful holiday moments. It's definitely important to remember those moments when the holidays get so crazy!
