Right now...
I'm sitting at the computer, drinking coffee, listening to instrumental Christmas music on Pandora, enjoying my quiet morning house as the sun comes up on a snowy world.
Only one of my four children is awake...and he is quietly watching Little Bear while he drinks his morning milk.
Wait...a happy squeal from the little one's room...my one year old daughter is now awake. I'll let her play in her crib for a couple of minutes.
Today...
There will be a Christmas, oops, I mean a Holiday party at school for my two oldest. Sending cranberry muffins and candy canes.
So, at home we will have our own little party with our little 3 year-old friend, who I care for during the day, my 2 1/2 year-old son, and my one year old daughter. I am thinking...mini cupcakes to sprinkle and a Christmas story...if I have the chance, maybe I'll whip up some sugar cookie dough for Christmas shapes and frosting and sprinkles...but as I write this I think the mini cupcakes will be much easier and just as fun.
A few minutes later...
Well, three out of four children are now up and our little friend is here. Little one year old miss is eating fist-fulls of scrambled eggs, two others are squabbling (as usual), and one is back to his milk and Little Bear...time for me to get us all going.

I am glad that you had a few minutes to sit quietly and enjoy the morning.
Do you have Tam in school now or is she still home with you?
Merry Christmas.
Oh, Tam is still homeschooled, but she got to go help out at Ary's party. Fun for her!
We had fresh popcorn and a Christmas Story last night...perfect way to get ready for Christmas!
I was just thinking about you today. Sending you wishes for a Merry Christmas!
Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2010.
Blessings,
Nancy
