Christmas 2011 in Photos...and Happy Anniversary to me!

Today is our 8th anniversary. It's amazing how time flies! Unfortunately, the hubby is out of town on his yearly post-Christmas hunting trip. Normally I don't mind him going on his hunting trip this time of year, but this year I was pretty bummed. I think it has to do with the recent loss of our pregnancy. Well, at least he got a deer this morning so we'll have meat in the freezer for the coming year. Plus, we'll celebrate our Anniversary when he gets back.

So, in honor of my Anniversary, I am going to post Christmas pictures to make me feel better. :)

Holiday Decor... I'm a bit bummed because I didn't get to decorate my house as much as I wanted. Plus, I hardly took any pictures. I did take a few pics of the decor at my Grandmother's house though. :)

Overall, we had a great Christmas! Looking forward to the New Year!! I hope everyone had a great holiday season as well!

Merry Christmas!!

I love Christmas! I love seeing Zachary's face light up when he wakes Christmas morning and runs out to see what Santa brought him. I love spending the morning in my PJs. And most important, I love spending time with my family. 

Although this holiday season has been tough for me both physically and emotionally, today was a great day to celebrate my blessings. I especially feel blessed to have my health back and to have such a wonderful support system surrounding me. 

For those who have recently experienced a loss of their pregnancy, especially during this holiday season, I hope that you were able to find at least a little bit of peace and happiness today.  I know how difficult the healing process can be. 

I'm super tired now so I'm headed to bed in my Christmas jingle bell jammies. I plan to post a few Christmas pics tomorrow. 

Here is one of my little guy enjoying the new headphones we got him. So cool! :)

Good Night!
