...finally. December is practically over, as is 2016. Christmas is just 5 days away. There is a constant reminder that time is not in our control. So, how do we make the most of it? I have to realize that life is not the perfect picture we want it to be. I have come to the conclusion, that nothing horrible will happen if I don't send out Christmas cards, or make homemade gifts, or even decorate the perfect size Christmas tree. I have found joy in the little things. Always trying to make the most of the ordinary moments. I've grown to love our little 4 foot Christmas tree! Simple and sweet. Finland, our Elf appeared a bit earlier than usual. Lorelei was thrilled. The Carson Holiday Musical was a huge success! I loved being in it together this year...Jonas' last performance, Lorelei's first and my 5th time as Assistant director. But all that performing was exhausting!

Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
