Little Things Making Me Smile

 Gifts are wrapped, a couple batches of cookies have been made and I'm trying to enjoy these days before all the festivities start. I'm very much looking forward to a break from school--one more day to go!

Our mantle is in a room where I don't get to enjoy it as much as I'd like to, but I'm happy with how it turned out this year.

I've never had a yard decoration for Christmas, but a few years ago this one caught my eye. I put it on my Amazon list just to watch the price--to see if it might go on sale at any point. Instead it showed up at my house. Jeremy had bought it for me and I was completely surprised. JOY is one of my words to live by and with the nativity inside the O, it encompasses the season well for me.
Anna's sweet friend, Tabitha, did this painting for Anna's birthday. It's one of my favorite of hers that I've seen. I can just sit and stare at it. It's breathtaking.
A 2 year old opening a small Christmas gift is just the best.
This weekend will be all about holiday music and cookie making!
