Everything looks warm and festive.Just love your Santa's and villages.And yes sometimes it takes that one special someone to give us that kick in the butt....I too this year have been blessed to know just such a person as Makayla......34 years old fighting breast cancer, double mastectomy a day ago, 3 small children....yet she has faced this with grace, dignity and determination......steadily moving forward....I guess sometimes God puts certain people in our life's path...so that we can learn something from them and grow ourselves....Its really not about all the decorations, and gifts..its like you said.....its about just being grateful to be alive....experiencing the gifts of friends and family....I pray for your Dad , he's been thru alot. I wish you all the joys of this special season Michelle. You are a gift I will always treasure.<br />Hugs,<br />LynnLynn Barbadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531500602020227537noreply@blogger.com
