2013

          Happy  2013  to all of you .
    I am sorry there is not anything  new here. Christmas time is always  busy,  and keep in mind  that I have  three family birthdays in December all before Christmas .  But this  year  my family was  so sick  two to three weeks  before Christmas, so I helped watch their children,  did shopping when I could ~  Then the Friday before I was hit hard and fast, I was so sick it scared me.  My daughters were amazing  with their  help and we were able to have and enjoy Christmas on Christmas day .

   I did not make any Christmas cards, I did no  Christmas baking   and my youngest daughter did almost all of my wrapping while my  oldest daughter  was out shopping for me and  picking up medicine.  .  Plus we had a storm  the Thursday before, were with out power just a few  hours .
   So I think it is safe to say it was the most different Christmas  I have ever had ~   but it was White  Christmas : )
 The LOVE of FAMILY was still here and in abundance .
    The night we put my tree up , we found I needed new lights ~ of course~ I was so sad that I could not get it  decorated ~ My youngest grandson  did this on  his own, came and gave me a hug  and said  " it is ok gramma,  we will get it done  "
   I am so blessed

  Here is  another  picture  after  my tree was  decorated  and gifts  were  under it ...It looks a little different  huh ?  : )

  New Years  day we carried on  with  our tradition of 15  years  at least,  to start the New Year as a family. We were all together  New Years Eve as well,  party hats, noise makes ,yummy snacks  and happy  kids ~  Sisters  that enjoyed each others company  and a son in law that  tried to  keep us all happy...A perfect  picture to add to my memories .
    New Years Day  other family  members  came, we  shared good food,  and time with each other  I got to see my great nephew I  have only seen once or twice  so far,   we played games,  and it was a great way to start the New Year...We hope the rest of the year  follows suit.
   I do not  make  make  resolutions,  I just try to decide  on some thing  I need to work on  within  my self... And it is easier  to  try  to accomplish it usually  ...  This year I want to  see  what I am doing  that I can better~  I know to be HAPPY  that one must be honest with them self  so  I am searching to see what I am hiding behind...  I  know  can reach a higher level of  HAPPINESS  and help others in someway too .
 Well at least I hope I can : )

  I wish you all  ONLY  good things for this year...Especially those that  make you happy ~  Family  makes me  happy  , and seeing them happy  is even better ~
                  But most of all  May 2013 be BLESSED for all of us
