Family & Christmas

This year I've had the amazing opportunity to spend Christmas with my family in California. My second brother and his family arrived and so Christmas was had by two of my three brothers and their families and their in-laws, my parents and me. It really has been a great trip. Well worth it.

Of course I'll share some photos on there sooner or later. I don't have the opportunity to put pictures on my computer right now. However, one of the things I have been blessed to witness this holiday season, are the children. My nieces and nephews and just how grown they've become in their own individuality and as cousins bonding.

You know, there are definitely times this past week that I've been a little sad. Those nieces and nephews I've held and seen grow from infants to tweens, to teens, to young adults is at times overwhelming. There are moments when I think that IF I ever have the chance to have children, that they will be the only cousins their own ages, because everyone else will be so much older than them. It's strange to think that my oldest nephews are old enough to start having families of their own. Oh my goodness!

Anyway - enough of the sad talk of growing babies.

I hope all of you who are still reading this blog have had a wonderful Christmas this 2014! I'll share pictures later of the children putting on the Nativity (with the stylish throw-together costumes done by none-other than yours truly!), white elephant pictures of my nieces sulking from getting crummy gifts, to my cute little nephew who is having the telepathic conversations with me! I love looking at the pictures that he's showing of his adventures and his little complaints about his day! Oh the joy it's been!!!

I am truly best!

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas to one and all!

Much love and light, P~

Take Your Time... Sam Hunt

Okay my darling friends... I was turned on to this song by one of my battle buddies. He literally shut the song off of his computer because I started to get watery eyed. So silly..... But, he wasn't having it. Anyway, if I could have written a song that explained an experience I've had this past year, this would be it. Love and light!

Christmas in Hanalei...

Okay - maybe not in Hanalei, however, I thought it was a catchy title... sort of.

Anyway, I saw this picture online and feel in love with it. Hanalei Pier is one of my favorite places in the world. I have a lot of really great memories growing up on Kaua'i, and especially of going to Hanalei with my family.

Just wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you all have a safe Holiday!

Much love and light,
