Holiday season started. It's all around us, you need to have a heart made of stone not to feel it, not to live it. For me, it's so, so different this year. On one hand, the biggest happiness and the nicest surprise. On the other one, frustration and extremely big disappointment from people that once held my trust.
But time has its own way of passing, meaning that it will pass no matter what you do, no matter if you're ready or not. And just like this, Thanksgiving came and we had to get our heads around the fact that this year is almost done. But we have so, so many things to be thankful. To rcap the year that went behind us:
-we are all healthy;
-Catalina had a wonderful transition to kindergarten;
-We took 2 amazing trips, to Switzerland and Disney
-We went camping and we had s'mores to quench our sweet tooth for a couple of good years
-We made new friends;
-We managed to keep our jobs and our bosses happy
-We had a year of flourishing financial year.
-We got the biggest surprise of all, coming early June 2016 :)
I am so grateful for all the bounty in my house and in my soul!
With all the good fears and hopes, we welcomed Thanksgiving. We had a nice dinner at some new friends we made. Catalina had fun, we had good food. Mommy had a horrible headache, but still managed some smiles.
And then the fun continued. We were ready to start the Christmas preparations. Christmas tree, carols, happy people. Once again, mommy was quite sick so Catalina and daddy took the Christmas job onto themselves.
We went together first to pick up our tree. Catalina was very serious and actually had a measuring tape to see how tall the tree should be. Too bad dad did not check how high our ceiling was...We had to adjust the tree once again when we got home ....
And then it was decoration time. Tangled lights, sparkly ornaments, Catalina was onto everything!
She even decorated sick mommy so she can feel the holiday spirit!
And at the end of the night we had a visit from Rudolph himself. My favorite kind of Rudolph :)
