Dec 25: Family

The overwhelming theme for Christmas in my family this year was simplicity. Everything was paired down; even our little dinner was just nice and simple. You know what... I loved it. Maybe it is just me getting older, but I was just happy to see everybody and spend time with my family. My little newphew is one of the sweetest little kids & his quirky little outlook on things kind of lightens the mood of the room. As I think about it more, I am really thankful for my family... and not just my awesome mom, rockin sister & funny, although bug-eyed, brother in law... my extended family, too. I have been able to reconnect with most of my cousins via Facebook, and it just makes me happy to be able to connect with their lives and keep in touch. Techonology is cool. The sad part though, about family, is missing them when they are gone. I especially miss my grandparents and my dad. So, as I wrap up my random post for Christmas 2010, I just want to say I love you to my family.
