A few weeks ago I had a conversation with one of my girlfriends about the holidays. The conversation started with religion, and digressed into the holiday season (at that time it was still in the ‘quickly approaching’ stages) Religion aside, I started thinking about what makes the holidays so special for me. It didn’t take me long to come to the conclusion that spending time with good friends and family is what the holidays are really all about. I think it’s one of those things that you really understand when you get older. When I was a kid, everyone always told me that spending time with family was the most important part of the holiday season, I think I finally realize how important it really is.

That being said, this holiday season is going to be different then many past years. Due to some ‘little’ developments, Christine and family will not be spending the holidays with us. This makes me sad, but then I see Oscar’s little face, and all that sad just melts away…how can an adorable blonde haired child not make you smile?! This will also be our first holiday without Ms. Vicki. Although it is going to be tough, that’s one of the great things about our family, we’ll be there for each other, and I’m sure we’ll have a good time reminiscing about silly Vicki moments.

Ah the joys of growing up. Although some things are changing, there are certainly plenty of new memories and traditions to be made. After all, this is our first holiday season of Mr. & Mrs…

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!
