Only 24 days until Christmas!!

Jericho - doesn't he look like Ralphie from The Christmas Story??!!

It's that special time of year - can you feel it in the air?!

I love this time of year.

I am so grateful for my little family.

I am grateful for my sister. She is amazing and she has done so much for me. I am very lucky to have her in my life.

I'm grateful for my job and my wonderful friends. It's been 11 years with most of them and I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with them for so long! I started out as a brand new grad in the ER and was immediately taken in and welcomed with open arms. I got married, and everyone came or was involved. I moved to Alaska! I came back and went to another hospital and I still work with the same people! Crazy! I had a baby boy - was on bed rest for months...and they all supported me greatly! I've had some family tragedies and personal tragedies that they have stuck by me like troopers! It's been a goofy, crazy, bumpy road...I am so glad and I can honestly say I count them as my family. We have been through a lot together.

I am grateful for my husband. Poor fella has had it rough with me. It hasn't been an easy almost 7 years with me at all. He has stuck by me, supported me, and loved me through it all. He deserves a special award and a special spot in Heaven :) I love you Wadey poo.

My little Jericho is the light of my life. I can't believe how much I love and adore that little boy. He literally makes my world turn and I don't know what we did without the little fella!

I'm grateful for my parents and grandparents, as well as wonderful inlaws and inlaw grandparents. They have been so incredibly good to me and my little family.

I love you all and am grateful for you in my life!

I hope everyone enjoys this special time of year! Love, hug and let everyone know you care every chance you get!
