The light sprinkling of snow, flitting in the air, but not sticking to the ground.

My daughter sleeping.

My son and I sharing stolen moments before falling asleep, covering eachother's hands in kisses and giving eachother eskimo kisses.

The birthday lunch with my two co-workers (Jeannie and Joanna).

Zumba with Mom.

Cheesecake birthday candles with Mom, her boyfriend, and my children.

Seeing myself in the mirror... not made up, hair barely brushed.  Appreciating what I am.

Japanese coconut pudding!

My daughter trying to run to me (really fast, tottering walk) to give me huge hug.

My son smiling at the "over night" holiday decorations and saying, "Santa! Santa!"

My nephew's excitement at giving me the necklace he made me.

Helping my mom cook the holiday meal with my youngest brother's fiance.

Playing the Wii with my nieces and my son.

My son allowing me to give him a haircut (while he played with a toy and ate peanut butter fudge) without any fight.  :-)

Lunch with Joanna!  She's awesome!

My daughter, sleeping on the floor with my husband, her little body curled with her tiny tushy sticking up.

Looking at my mini sandgarden on my desk, decorated with fried marbles, fried gems, a seed pot and a penny.

My son using his magic sceptre as the "Sword of Omens" and saying "Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercat, Ho!" while watching the old Thundercats cartoons.

My children gobbling down their spaghetti pie with gusto (though I thought was a failed dish).  Such a lovely thing that they both ate so well and so much of it (and ate it heartily!!!).
