Christmas really is my favorite time of year when I take the time to slow down and appreciate everything. This year that really didn't happen until the day was over. I came home from spending time at my aunt's beach house and unpacked the car and all the sweet gifts that we received and that is when it really hit me. I sat down with a cup of hot tea by myself in the living room, turned on the Christmas tree lights and reflected on the past few days. All the amazing food that was prepared. The thoughtful gifts that were given to Logan and me, not to mention the number of treats for BGB. Most importantly, all the laughter and love that was shared. I took some time to put all of BGB's new outfits away and thought about how the time would be here before we know it when instead of hanging in a closet, she will be wearing these sweet clothes. The little shoes get to me every time. They are so tiny. I know though that just as quickly these past 7 months have flown by, so will how fast she will be growing out of these cute, tiny newborn outfits and leaving us for her first day of school. So my biggest take away this week is to spend the time alone, over a nice cup of coffee or tea and think about the small moments that make our lives so special, not just during the holidays.
