Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Today while riding in the car and listening to Christmas music, I heard the song from Sound of Music...I know it is always played at Christmas, but I am not sure why because it doesn't seem very Christmasy - Christmasy may not be a word and if it is, it probably isn't spelled right...

Anyway- I started to list some of my favorite things to myself and I thought I would just go ahead and share a few...

~ when I overhear Jeremy and Libby "conversing" through the baby monitor, it is pretty sweet. It's also funny when he is changing a diaper that is fuller than expected...I keep waiting for them to mention a Christmas present for Mommy - but that has yet to happen...

~when I walk in Libby's room and she has her head up looking for me, usually I am singing so she is all smiles until she spots me and then she gets really excited...I never knew an infant could make me feel like a rock star...

~my small group girlfriends - we call it bible study, but it is much more than that. The group has been around for awhile and it has changed. People have come and gone and regardless of the faces that are there this small group has been so great for me over the past few years. I have grown in so many ways. The other night we had our second annual PJ party and ornament exchange - It was a pretty good time...nights with the girls are very refreshing and I am thankful that I am a part of such a group...and also thankful that Jeremy understands how much I enjoy this time and he is always excited to spend quality time with Libby so I can have a night every now and then.

~ a Christmas card especially one including a photo...

~tradition -this is the first year we will spend the night at our house on Christmas Eve and I am pretty excited about Santa coming and starting a few traditions.

~Libby's grandparents - Mimi & Pop and NaNa & Papaw - they are so generous with their time and I really appreciate all that they do for us and I know Libby does too...

Libby also has a new favorite...see the video below - please excuse Hagan's nose...
