The Holiday Season is absolutely my favorite time of year. I love all of the quirky things about the holidays: Christmas music (Donny Hathaway this Christmas is my fav), the color red, wreaths, Christmas lights, decorating the Christmas tree, baking, spending hours in the kitchen cooking & in 15 minutes eating everything that was cooked, receiving my God-daughters 5 page long Christmas wish-list via email, beautiful cards, the smell of cinnamon, candy canes, hot chocolate, and of course my family traditions. It’s the only time throughout the entire year that I get to spend more than a weekend with my parents, brother, and dogs. This year we decided to not give gifts (which my brother is still confused about), but to celebrate giving 3 of my cousins the gift of spending the Holidays with us by bringing them to our home. It was a hard decision to make, because one side of me is like…I totally want an I-phone 4, clothes and other goodies from my dear padres. However, I felt the need to follow the quiet voice inside of me guiding me to bless someone else for Christmas. So we did exactly that…3 cousins, 1 brother, 2 dogs, mom & I had an AMAZING weekend! Thank you Lord for another lesson on learning to put others before myself. Learning that you came to serve, not to be served.
My Dad (whom we miss dearly) is currently deployed...serving our country. We Love you papi & can't wait until you come home!!
