This weekend we drove around and looked at Christmas lights- such a simple tradition but the boys had the best time. Sullivan kept saying, “This is FU-UN!” Then we took them to IHOP for a breakfast dinner. I have never been so grateful for my family of 5 in that little booth in all my life.
Isn’t it a shame that it usually takes something shocking to remind us of what truly matters in life? I, along with all of you, am certainly aware of how precious life is and am just grateful to have time with the people I love so dearly. I have a few more posts planned before 2013 but mainly I will be enjoying time with family and reminding myself to complain less and soak up every little moment.
My prayers are with the families of those 20 little angels.

Your lights display drive and IHOP visit sound perfect – we did a lot of the same. Went to a few of our favorite places, did lots of snuggling at home, and just enjoyed each other.
