Happy Holidays

Right now I'm not posting about Nate's birthday celebration or the throw-up we've been laundering out of blankets and pajamas. I might get around to telling you about school parties and presents from Grandma and Grandpa and finding the perfect babysitter. Someday I'll let you know how much I love opening the mailbox and finding cards from long-lost friends and knowing that my friends are opening their mailboxes and finding me in there too. I could explain how I spent a dreamy night in front of a movie wrapping presents which won't be opened for 12 more days. The best would be if I described the boys running from a front door trying not to get caught after ringing the bell and leaving a surprise.

But I'm not posting about any of that right now. Instead, here's a picture of my new favorite holiday decoration. Christmas balls in glass jars...genius and original, I know...just try to pretend like you haven't seen them in every magazine or on everyone's shelves. This year they're mine and I love 'em!
