Christmas

Another great Christmas together!

Excitement of a child and I am able to be a part of it, what a wonderful gift to share with a parent.

Derek loving his gifts. I love watching his excitement.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Which if I am honest actually every day with my kids is the most wonderful time of the year.

In our Christmas pjs enjoying simple time together

Big hugs from my rain makers, they make the best rain ever, life giving! Thank you to my kids!

Just take a look at those two kids, amazing! Pure happiness is so contagious and I am so grateful!

Christmas's are great! My kids make it even better, they still bring in the magic, I love magic.

1st babysitting job!!!

I was so exited when I was called to babysit three little girls, they were so much fun. The oldest girl was Carly (5) the middle child was Brooklyn (3 1/2) and a little baby Kapri (15 months) we played A-Z alphabet junier and vet! It was so much fun, I hope to do it again soon...
