bed time

My bed time is usually some time between 10 and 11.
With no work or school to get us up we have been sleeping in. Unfortunately now I am having trouble getting to bed before 2:30. Even as a little girl I was a night owl.

How about you? When left with no schedule to follow to you like to wake up with the sun or sleep in?

(It is 2:23 so I am going to try to go to sleep now)

a merry christmas

We had a wonderful white Christmas here in Nashville. My son made a video of the last 24 hours. I thought some of you might enjoy a little peek into our Christmas.

wishes

I am going to sign off for a few days. I wish all of you a time of joy and peace.

I didn't get around to sending out cards but if I did they would be from this talented artist.

elf

I know that I am a little late but I saw this move for the first time tonight. I loved it! Sitting by a fire watching a movie as a family, all nine of us, knowing that there is no school tomorrow ...it doesn't get a lot better than that.

the nutcracker

This weekend we will be watching my favorite ballerina dance in the Nutcracker.
She is also my daughter and she is a bon bon. There is nothing like watching the art of ballet to put me in the Holiday Spirit.

How about you? Is the Nutcracker part of your Holiday traditions.

toys

I am thrilled to be guest blogging over at Lilac and Grey today. Please stop by and see my favorite toys for the Holidays. (As a mother of 7 I have a lot of experience in the field)

Hope you are all having a joyful Friday!
