Hi. :))))) How are you tonite? I am doing most sweetly. :)))))) I didn't want to sleep the day away so I woke a little before 9 this morning. :))))) I downloaded the Christmas pics I shot and it took me rite back to those very sweet moments. :))) It was so sweet to my heart to watch Alecia help Sophie open her presents. :))))) It's funny when you have a child that you don't think at that moment that your little bundle of love will one day be a parent. :)))))) It is so much fun watching my daughter be a Mom. :))))) Sophie on Christmas Eve just wanted to unwrap her gifts and then be on her way. LOL!!!! She is a very busy girl. :)))) Now her great grand-father bought her a dress so she brought the dress over to where I was setting and tried to put it on her legs. I asked her if she would like Nana to help her. I picked her up and put her on my lap and helped her get her dress on her body. :))))) She already had a cute christmas outfit on, but she wanted the dress on over it. LOL!!!!! I must say that made great grand-father feel pretty special. :))))) I felt special bc for the moment I got to hold my grand-daughter. :))))) We had a very good christmas eve dinner. :))))) No fussing went on so that was extra sweet. :))))))) Alecia, David her husband, and Cody were all sick for the holidays. Alecia ended up at the ER on Christmas morning. :(((( They told her she had a virus. :((( All are feeling better now. :)))))) Now to Christmas morning. I was woken by my husband Christmas morning. :))))))) I thought I was dreaming that someone had me by my ankles, and when I opened my eyes there my husband was. He was bouncing up and down on me, and then he leaned down kissed me and wished me a Merry Christmas. :))))))) I then got ready for Christmas morning with Cody and my husband. :)))) We each had one special gift that we could not open until last. :)))))) Cody went first to open his special gift and I must say he was very happy. :))))) When they watched me and all they saw was a small part of the wrapping paper had been ripped, and sweet tears running down my face LOL!!!! This is the first christmas in a very long time that I cried. LOL!!!! Then my husband opened his special gift. I must say that he didn't cry, but he was surprised. :)))) I told my family that I was going to wrap this Christmas up bc it was so special and full of love. :)))) Okay I will stop with the story bc it could go on forever. LOL!!!! I hope your Christmas was extra special. :)))))) Are you ready for the New Year? I am looking forward to starting a New Year. :)))))) Alecia and her family will be with us to bring in 2014 :))))) I think it is extra sweet when the whole family is together celebrating. :))))) Sophie will be wondering why she isn't in her bed asleep. LOL!!!! Enough with the stories. LOL!! I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to each that looked, commented, and rated my last image. :))) I am still working on getting back here more often. :))) Maybe next year I will be here more than I have been this year. :))))))) I better tell a little about this image. :))) I shot this Oct 19th of this year while we were on Whitetop Mountain. :))))) I know my husband was driving 1 mile per hour just so he could get me in the spot I wanted to shot this image. :))))) Thank you so much to my husband. :))))) I love the silhouettes of the evergreens, the sweetness of the clouds laying in the valleys, and the sweet beauty of the mountain ranges against the sky . :)))) It was a most sweet day. :)))))) Being with your love, having cheetos, and being surrounded by beauty make for a perfect date. :)) I should be going for now. :(((( Before I go I want to wish each a most cozy nite filled with the sweetest of dreams. :))))) Wishing your tomorrow Sunny. :))))))) Carry A Sunshine Smile In Your Heart :))))))))) Nite, Sweet Dreams :))))))
