My Mix of 6

Easter and Christmas are the two holiday's that really, truly make me slow down and realize just how truly blessed I am.  Don't get me wrong, I know that I am blessed.  I have a husband who loves me unconditionally and is my best friend (who gets to live with their best friend every day?  I do!), four of the most amazing, kind, smart, beautiful children I know (I might be biased but I don't think so).  We both have good jobs, are able to provide for our family and even though we both work, we spend so much quality time with our kids and each other; always making memories.  I am always reminded just how lucky I am and how blessed our little big family is.  I will let the pictures do the talking.   T he kids had a good time...as always, with the dying of the eggs.       It's always fun to see them be creative with their egg creations.   I adore these two boys and just love how Bubba is looking up at ...

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!   Ours was fantastic!   We always start a few days before Christmas celebrating our son, Hotrod, and his birthday.   You can read about celebrating him here  and  here  . We spent Christmas Eve, evening with the Mister's side of the family.  We always have a great time hanging out with his parents, grandmother, Aunt's, Uncle's, cousins and their family's.  Which is always a blast!  My family lives in another state, it makes traveling around the holidays difficult.  There just never seems to be enough time.  I am very grateful, that if I can't be with my side of the family, that I get to be a part of the Mister's family.  There are nine great-grandchild for Grammie.  These cousins are growing up to be the best of friends, just like their parents are.  It warms my heart so much, knowing they will be so close as they grow...

Wrap, Wrap, Wrap!!!  Can you really believe that there is only 6 more days left till Christmas?   Are you done with all your gift making?  Gift buying?  Or are you just beginning?  Or somewhere in the middle?  Have you even started wrapping yet?  I, personally, am somewhere in the middle.  Just when I think I have everything done and taken care of, someone else pops into my mind and on the list they go.  After spending the evening wrapping gifts for the little ones, I am at least making a little head way. Hope you are almost done with all your holiday prepping!
