It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!
Celebrate
The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have
decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big
or small it is.
I'm celebrating the most wonderful "small" things in my life...my kiddos! They both had two whole weeks off for Christmas vacation, along with my husband, so we've all enjoyed spending time as a family. It's not all peaches and cream, living with a teen and a pre-teen, but they are the loves of my life and I love having these moments with them.

What's interesting about treasuring your children is that, in some future year, they will tell you (or, at least, admit to themselves) that most of what made their childhood memorable was you. It's that way, looking back, with my parents. I think of growing up and I knew how much they loved me (most of the time, that is. There was the small matter of the horse I never got...) and that security underlay my world.
ReplyDeleteLovely post!
Thanks Diana for the sweet words. I enjoyed your post today as well!
DeleteHow wonderful that your husband has a long vacation too, so you can all enjoy things together. I wish you and your family a great 2015!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lexa! Same to you and yours!
DeleteMy kids and I have been enjoying the two weeks off as well. It's so nice to do things as a family. My kids are young teens, but they're great ones, and we always have fun together. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2015!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori! I hope you have a wonderful 2015 as well!
DeleteLucky you! My niece was home from college but so far only one day visiting.
ReplyDeleteSo now I'll be waiting for Spring to come around!
Most of my nieces live far away, so I can relate to missing them! I hope you get to spend more time with her in the Spring!
DeleteIt's a wonderful feeling celebrating the holidays with the kids and hubby. I'm sure you had some precious moments to treasure. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year, Katie. Hope you're feeling good! Hugs. Eva
ReplyDeleteMy stepdaughter just turned 15, so I know exactly what you're talking about. She's at the stage where her friends know everything and grown-ups are all idiots...I think she's been there for about three years!
