What Momma? 357/366

Now that school is out and grades are posted, it's officially time for Christmas break. We've been sleeping in, wearing pajamas until noon, baking banana bread, wrapping gifts, watching movies, surfing the web, and hanging with friends.

As this year comes to a close, I've been reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future. I want to finish strong , love others, and let my little light shine bright. I want to stop trying so hard to fit in because, as A.A. Milne once said, "The things that make me different are the things that make me stand out." I want to recognize what brings me joy, what is most important to me. I want to remember the things I did as a child that made me smile most and then do them as if I were young and didn't care who was looking. Whether its jumping in a puddle or dancing to whatever tune strikes my fancy, letting it take me back to a time when things were simple."

Along those youthful lines, I took my daughter and two of her friends to Gaddy's yesterday and had a fun time. After stopping for hot chocoloate and checking out Burton's Christmas Lights, we headed over to Gaddy's.

 I asked each of the girls to text me their four favorite photos of the night. In no special order, I've included their highlights of the light fest.

















K had never been and I wanted to change that. I was even a bit rebellious agreeing to stop while she jumped out of the car to take a picture with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
