Sisters

The best christmas present by far..

 was having my sister and her family stay here for a week.  

In fact, I am certain the reason why this season was 

a little magic, had to do with her comming and decorating my

house for Christmas in the first place.

She added a little lovin here...

And a whole lot of lovin here.

(see stairs behind)

She puts love in everything she does...

She is a beautiful mother...

and an example to me of balance and joy and what it means to be

Real

And I love her for that.

I wish I had a picture of us...

but she doesn't do pictures:)

So here is a picture of her ED fixing my counter top...

I didn't have to ask.

I never do.

They both just see where they can help out,

and go about it quietly.

(unless there is a drill involved:)

I love that she compensates when she knows that

I have hit my limit...

And that she lets me do the same when she hits hers.

I love that she talks to me with that same

heart, soul and no B.S

just like mom did.

I love you Shellie.

And I miss the rest of you, Becky, Ryan, my black pearls, ALL of my amazing friends...

everyone who has made me a better person and blessed my family

I am starting this New year with a heart of gratitude for all of you..

Merry CHRISTmas.

And a very HAPPY new year.

(Now I need to get pics from Garrett's sisters from our cabin party!)
