another year of something to read, something to wear, something you want and something you need. always one of my favorite traditions.
solly, ez and oscar got new maileg stuffed animals (a doggie for solly, a hippo for ez & a silver fox for oscar), amos scored his very first official gamecock gear (an under armour hoodie), oscar got new glow in the dark natives & their "big" gift this year was a new ninja warrior slackline! which has been loads of fun and only semi-dangerous so far ...
the boys gave me a(nother) footprint picture -- my favorite gift to receive -- and this year, it was all amos' idea! *note: ez's foot is about 1/4" bigger than solly's now
mikey served lattes from our new machine (thanks OD & Cat) to all of our visitors & we had cinnamon rolls + steak & eggs + homemade hash browns for breaky
mikey and i celebrated fifteen christmases together this year, and i'm certain that each one has been fuller, louder, sweeter & messier than the last. more costly, more unpredictable & more lively. but also, so much more lovely. i'm breathing in this season with my people, stamping these years with littles on my heart, knowing that one day when our house is quiet on christmas morning, i'll always, always be grateful for the chaos, the mess, the utter joy ...
