it's c-c-cold outside with snow flurries and wind. lots of wind. inside, it's cozy and warm and the house is filled with family. i LOVE this time of year. 

so much laughter, some tears, lots of laundry and dishes, and a general air of chaotic happiness. :) good times.

Day 23:

friday, i was thankful for my daughter, especially. she is so caring and helpful. she is smart, and funny, and beautiful. she loves my Jesus, and is growing closer to Him every day, and this makes me happier than  anything else in the world ever could. ♥

Day 24:

thankful for surprises. and for a hopeful future. 

Day 25:

i am thankful for heat. brr. and socks. and scarves and hats and sweaters and blankets, and for people to snuggle with. :)
