Well we had a great advent, we enjoyed lighting our advent candles and waiting for Christmas. We celebrated Mama's birthday, the Feast of St. Lucy, did a lot of cooking, decorating, and playing. We loved having Dad home for such a long vacation and we are still missing him around here. Back to the grind. Happy New Year! Can't believe in 2012 I'll have a 30 year old, 4 year old, and 1 year old. Lucky me!
