I Felt The Pains on Christmas Day . . . Hee Heee

And on this day a child was born . . . Happy Kellymas!!!

Surprise, Christmas Baby. It is BONUS BLOG day and YOU are the STAR!!!
Just want you to know that on this day, when we celebrate the birth of Jesus and all that is loving and kind in this world, we also celebrate YOU!! 
Thank you for bringing enthusiasm, joy, energy, friendship and more love than we could imagine into our lives. 
You always have been, and will continue to be, a smart, beautiful, tradition-filled, loyal, and loving young woman and your father and I are SOOOOO proud of you.

And Then We were Down to . . . Jon!!

Wednesday, Christmas Eve

HoHoHo to my much-loved family!!
It has occurred to me that I may have featured my offspring in the wrong order.
I am ending our Christmas Countdown with a Jon retrospective when I probably should have reversed the order and ended with the Christly child!! Ah well, there is always next year.
We are in a bit of a Christmas Eve rush today . . .a little trip to town ahead, a little house clean up, wrapping to do, food to prepare, the Moncton girls arriving . . . and I just have to say - I am grateful and happy to have this break and to celebrate this holy holiday, but - I would one thousand times rather be doing it with all my chicks here, under this roof, talking, arguing, and loving each other.
I miss you all - even the two who live so close, but on this day, not close enough!
Have a peace-filled Christmas. Remember that this time of year is about reflection, about love in its purest form, about tiny acts of giving and sharing that can change hearts and lives.

It's a Megan Kind of Monday . . . with a little Bryce on the side!

Monday, Dec 22

I'm late, I'm late . . . just like the white rabbit I find myself perpetually behind (and mostly chasing my tail!) Monday is drawing to a close and no blog is in sight. So, let's take care of that before I nod off . . . again.
Today we celebrate all things Megan - even though I am struggling with the fact that Megan is officially on vacation and I am still trudging off to the mine with my pick axe held high.. Your dad and I have had such a great time going through all our piles of photos - I can't put them all up here, but we did pick a few Miss Megan favourites to share.
Our countdown to Christmas is also winding down. I have enjoyed staying in touch this way - there is comfort in knowing we are sharing these memories together.
Love to all this Christmas week!
