Start #1: Gifts 255...

255. My boss telling me I could go home early on Friday to pick up Emmy and take her home for some good rest.

256. Shopping with Emmy and in the middle of an aisle full of people hearing her say, "Mommy, I farted."  Only Emmy can get smiles out of people for that.

257. Our home filled with amazing friends, children's laughter, incredible food, old school jivin' holiday tunes, and the good cheer and warmth of the season.

258. Andy's fruit-filled Sangria.

259. Bonfires.

260. Going to be with a full heart from our evening of the above.

261. More delicate roses in shades of cream and a whisper of pink blooming in our front yard, and Lily cutting some blossoms off at her own will to share today with her girl scout troop leaders.




262. Finding a $25 coupon in my purse today for an unexpected car repair, bringing the total down to $98.

263.  The vulnerability of life in such fragile moments, like watching Lily and her girl scout troop bring holiday carols, cookies, and sweet child smiles to a nursing home this afternoon.  The exchanges between the girls and the elderly were so tender and unscripted.

264. A long, uninterrupted phone conversation in my car with my dear Ginger.  I love  you Ginger!
