Hello everybody! It's been a while since I have been on here. We have been a busy family, but most important we have been a happy family.I woke up this morning very happy to have my little family with me. Andy had to work his full shift but he finally came home to us, he will be grumpy later ;) The girls and I are doing our tradition of warm sweet rolls and milk (mommy has chocolate chai tea) and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. When I was younger my mom and I always watched it, I love that I can carry this over to my little girls.
Next year , when I finally will be in our house, I hope to be able to cook Thanksgiving dinner for everyone. I miss the smells that go with the parade, my mom always cooked a great Thanksgiving dinner. Don't get me wrong, I did get some of the smells yesterday.
I got to cook yesterday for my dinner with my Dad, brother, sister in law, and the kids. We had a great night with lots of food and love, and that's what it is about. I love spending time with my family no matter what day it is on. Today I get to spend the day with my other family, the Masons, so, more food and love for me, I think I will need to go on a strict diet after these two days of good food!!!
I am only missing one thing, and that is Zooey. I really didn't think that it would hit me till Christmas but I have had a few things that set me off. One was while I was doing wedding dress shopping. I was at Belk and they had a tree with beautiful "Baby's first Christmas" on it. I teared up right there, if someone had seen me they would have thought I was skitzo. I went from smiling to crying in two seconds! Then this morning while enjoying the girls and the parade, Johnson & Johnson had a commercial of a baby talking and telling it's mother that she was doing okay. UGH, talk about pulling at my heart strings! I will have to change the channel every time it comes on or I will have puffy face for the whole Christmas season. I miss her very much and that will never change. No matter how happy I am, that hole is there and it really keeps me centered. I would love to find something for Christmas that is a special reminder of her, something that will make her part of our celebration. I guess I will have to get looking.
The next time I write I will be Mrs. Mason, so I am sure I will have a lot to share :))
