We spent Christmas up at the cabin and it couldn't have been more wonderful. Not only did she get 100% attention from dear mom and dad but also grandma & grandpa (plus Bethany and Casey). There was gingerbread men making (thanks again for the memories mom), snow playing and a merry time all around. This is not to say we wont have a wonderful time next Christmas with the new addition; I am just enjoying the time we have left with only one kiddo. If we have learned anything this last year it has been to have joy in the journey. It is not where we will be in a month, year or even 10 years it is where we are in the here and now. I feel grateful to say that there is nothing I'd rather be doing.
Here are some pics of our last Christmas with only Britta.
