Well Sunday turned into another of the dark, dreary days of winter that we have been experiencing too many of lately! I need sunshine so badly. I've been blasting my SAD light whenever I get a chance but even that is not picking up the spirit.
We went to Carter's 6th birthday today. It is hard to believe these little guys are going on 6. 6 years we've lived on Club Valley Drive. Time does pass by too quickly. Before we know it the boys will be on their way to college as well. The party was a bouncey place. Very well organized and tons of fun. I know Cooper was dripping of sweat when it came time for cupcakes.
The rest of the evening, we decorated the Christmas tree. I always get so nostalgic when we do this. Grandma Louise was definitely present in the room last night. I miss her. I miss going to her house on Christmas eve, the anticipation...the food...and above all The Oyster stew. I want to provide Suzy and Cooper with the same experiences but because of illness on my parents side we can ever seem to capture what it once was. Or am I just older? Have I just lost the magic of Christmas? Maybe instead of barreling full steam ahead to the next project, I should sit back and take a breath and let Christmas fill me. I don't want to be scrooge, I've got to get out of this funk once and for all. Please God help me with this.
