Family & Friends are great

Gee wiz, Christmas is already over! It's sad to say, but honestly this year it did not feel like Christmas. I miss the times when I wake up at 6 am, yelling and giggling forcing my parents to awake.  I miss jumping on Samara's bed, in hope of her remembering this precious day. I miss the years when there were bites from your cookies, and a large sip of milk was left in its jar. The years when my smile would reach the top of my cheeks in excitement of all the gifts hidden beneath the tree. I miss Santa. But more importantly, I miss when all I had to do was run down the hall to Samara's room. Now she lives a state away... Although I now appreciate every moment we spend together. This year two Erics were part of the Thompson family. It's a happy time, Christmas. Everyone is all smiles and happiness. Too bad snow wasn't a part of the holidays, but it was quite nice to not be frozen when walking from the car... yes I become spoiled after these warm 37 degree days. I hope all had a wonderful Christmas!

As well as a holiday, I also get to enjoy a few days off from school. In the mean time, I get to spend wonderful time with the loveliest friends EVER. They're great:)

















LOVE them with all my heart.

OH and the best part of this winter break, I GOT A CAMERA!! Thank you so much Daddy!
