……. Catch up!

First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration.  Mine was filled with a house of Merry Makers and lots of food and memories for several days.  As you can see I haven't posted since December 16th.  Ahh, the holidays.  Full of crazy joy and preparation.  Wouldn't trade it for anything!

One of the biggest treats (and surprises) was getting to have my little 6-year old niece for a week after her parents went home.  I was afraid she'd get homesick because she's never stayed with us before and we don't see her very often (they live 3 hours from us).  Not only did she not get homesick, but she announced that she didn't want to leave (while we were taking her home.)  Having my mom "Grandma" stay made the difference, I'm sure.  Of course making cookies, thank you cards and seeing the Muppet Movie may have helped too.

Here's a picture of two very special "Merry Makers" kickin' back, my DH "Uncle Pete" and little Sarah.

Sure hope you have warm memories like this left over from from the holidays!
