Simply Wonderful

I'm so blessed that I shared a wonderful Christmas time with my family and friends from near and far.  They came as far as Australia, Philippines, East Coast, Midwest, and as near as, just my neighborhood.  I thought the parties would never end (I wish, sigh).  I met a bunch of relatives I haven't seen in ages in a series of family reunions.  I laughed a lot, talked a lot, reminisce a lot,  and ate a lot.  Here are some of our photos, it's too bad I can't fit them all in this blog (would probably overwhelm all of you).  Enjoy!

 

 

Fall Is Finally Here

Top 10 Signs of Fall

1. When I got out at 7pm last night from an hour's class at the gym, it was already dark.

2. The household was in full swing at 6am (Hayden has church @ 7:45am) and all the lights were on.

3. The heater was in full blast making the house warm and cozy.

4. Finally got out of bed by 6:30am and saw the sun started to peek and greeted us.

5. Beautiful sunny day with a brisk cool wind blowing.  Definitely a "cardigan" kind of day.

6. My niece already has a Halloween costume.

7. It's already 2nd week of the month that ends in "ber."

8. Talks and plans about Thanksgiving.

9. I started to look for my sweaters kept in the basement.

10. The reason for #1, seeing the glimpse of "stuffing your face eating marathon" months.
