A Very Merry, Triplety Chritmas

Merry Christmas, all. I hope Santa treated everyone well. It's safe to say we made out nicely. As always, Christmas kept us on-the-go with one event after another. December is always a jam-packed month of busy. Here is a list of my favorite things about the Best Month of the Year. seeing Santa and playing at Bass Pro I am having so much fun with the triplets now they they are this age. I no longer feel like I'm stuck in a prison (as much), unable to do much of anything fun with my children. My Birthday There's nothing better than being able to spend time with my family and my friends making time for me to celebrate another candle being added to the cake.
