and giving thanks
Today, I will be watching the first snowflakes fall, baking brownies, staying in PJs, having dance parties to holiday tunes, kissing my baby's little nose, kissing my baby's little toes, lingering over my blueberry bagel with butter, sharing laughter with treasured family members, watching the parades, remembering this day last year, telling the people in my life how much they mean to me, crawling around with my ...
