I Was Starting to Wobble

Last week my Christmas Crabbiness was starting to creep up on me. Deadlines to meet, gifts to buy, multiple Christmas events and a sore knee that has me spending way to much time at the Chiropractor's office. 

 And yes, Mr. Christmas was cranking up his usual Christmas cheer.

 This week has me heartbroken over the recent tragedy in the States. I'm holding my little ones closer and pray that God will hold close the victims, of this senseless crime.

 As my little granddaughters baked cookies with Grandpa, my thoughts kept going to the families that have lost so much.
Just a little more icing.... 
The Most Amazing Christmas Cookies Ever!
Even Mr. Christmas needed a nap after that event.
And he's not the only one.

 It's so easy to take our loved ones for granted. My heart is heavy but thankful.
