Wishing you a renewed sense of wonder
and hoping you enjoy the fruits of your labor
May your days be spent with those you love
and may those days be merry
and all that you dreamed
especially if all that you dreamed includes your teeth
and may your memories be good
Wishing you and yours joy and peace this holiday season!
Happy Monday!

I love the photos, that seems to be a common comment, but I love your idea of the photos being an idea for a blog post! I know many of my Christmas wishes went unfulfilled, but I always had family. Wishing you the best Christmas and Happiest New Years (even after the fact 🙂 )

Love the pictures. There’s a photo somewhere of me on Santa’s lap, and I am crying hysterically. Santa looked like he’d just about had it! 🙂

I bet that photo induces smiling. Now, anyway. Maybe not so much at the time? 🙂 I saw a kid screaming on Santa’s lap at the mall last week. Rite of passage.

Your pictures always leave us with a feeling of warmth & family, Coleen. And of course, it wasn’t two seconds after opening your blog that I told Inion to grab our photo album. Inion immediately looked at me & said. “Was there any picture of me on Santa’s lap that I wasn’t balling my eyes out.” lol. By the way, love the one of you & your siblings!! Merry Christmas Coleen, & Happy New Years!
