This is what I really needed this year....a simple Christmas. And there were so many moments which were just that. I loved seeing Charlie enjoying the season, having fun with his Grammie Merkel making cookies, doing crafts, eating nothing but sugar...what's better in life? I also loved my Mom's gift to me of a box of mementos my Grandpa had saved over my 36 years of life. Notes I'd written, cards, a lock of my hair and also some of the things that were SO my Grandpa, his harmonica, toothpicks, chapstick. It was the best present I could have been given. As this was Max's first Christmas I just tried to soak in the cuddles and kisses with him. There is something about a first Christmas with a little boy. So much to savor and appreciate this year....
